Waveform design for multistatic radar imaging using mutual information

摘要

The topic of waveform design is investigated for a multistatic radar scenario where it is assumed that one radar sensor is transmitting while the remaining sensors receive. This is accomplished by using an information-theoretic measure (i.e., mutual information between the image and the radar return) as an objective function for waveform optimization. Simulations are given to illustrate performance gains in image quality metrics.
