Optimal waveform design based on TIR prediction for cognitive radar systems

This paper addresses the optimal waveform design for cognitive radar systems in scenario of range- spread target considering the target impulse response (TIR). The most research on optimal waveform design need to use TIR, however, the TIR used for next transmitted waveform is the estimated based on current received signal or is assumed to be known. This paper takes advantage of TIR prediction for next transmitted optimal waveform design in order to the waveform match the target characteristic well. The simulation results show the proposed method is validation. © 2015 by Binary Information Press.
