It is always an important problem to recover sparse signals from observations corrupted by Gaussian noise and has been extensively investigated. In high-resolution maritime surveillance radars working at scan mode, ship classification, and recognition need to recover high-resolution range profiles (HRRPs) of ships from radar returns of several pulses with severe range sidelobe effect. Multipulse synthetic data by the aid of ship Doppler information are complex sparse signals corrupted by non-Gaussian correlated interference. In this article, a sparse recovery via iterative minimization (SRIM) method is proposed to estimate complex HRRPs of ships from multipulse synthetic data. The SRIM method adapts the non-Gaussianity nature of the interference in the multipulse synthetic data and ship complex HRRPs are modeled by the random sequences of the biparametric generalized Gaussian distributions (GGDs) (0 < p ≤ 1). In the SRIM method, the parameters of the GGD model are iteratively searched by the minimal criterion of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov distance of the residue and the interference model. The SRIM method is compared with the recent linear-programming-based method and the classic sparse learning via iterative minimization (SLIM) method by using simulated and measured radar data and the results show that the SRIM method obtains the better performance.
