This letter proposes a limited-memory receive filter design to maximize the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. The associated problem is a minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) one which can be analytical solved, but the computation of the MVDR solution would be prohibitive in the context of massive MIMO radar, due to the huge memory consumption. To this end, we propose a low-complexity algorithm that exploits a reparameterization method to avoid the significant memory consumption, and solves the resulting problem with several simple algebraic operations. We show that the memory consumption of the proposed algorithm depends on the number of interference sources. Therefore, for the scenario with a large number of interference sources, we extend the proposed algorithm by the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), which promotes a further memory reduction. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
