This article addresses the problem of joint time–frequency (JTF) analysis of micromotion targets in complex environments in an approximate Bayesian inference framework. First, the sparse observation model is constructed, which is then decomposed into a series of single-window-JTF (SW-JTF) analysis problems to tackle the high dimension of the over-complete dictionary. On this basis, the probabilistic graphical model is constructed by imposing the Gamma-complex Gaussian prior to the JTF distribution. Finally, the model parameters are solved effectively by single-window variational inference (SWVI). Compared with the available methods, the proposed method could obtain better-focused JTF signature for narrowband data and higher quality range-instantaneous Doppler (RID) image for wideband data, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and data corruption scenarios.
