Selection of Minimum Range-Doppler Blindness Waveforms for Medium PRF Radar Using Genetic Algorithm

摘要

This Paper presents the method to select the optimum set of PRF waveforms for Medium PRF (MPRF) Radar. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to minimize the blind areas in Range-Doppler space. The GA generates optimal set of PRFs, under constrains of Radar system design parameters, far faster than exhaustive search method. The GA is very efficient in finding near optimum solution from very large solution space. The method is fully automatic and it has been extensively tested using the model developed in MATLAB.
