Pulsed Radar System Using Optimized Transmit and Filter Waveforms

摘要

The technology described in this document can be embodied in a radar system that employs pulse compression waveforms. In one aspect, a radar system includes a transmitter device and a receiver device, which are both configured to access a storage device. The storage device is configured to store a first sequence of values and a second sequence of values. The first sequence of values can represent phase values for a transmit waveform. The second sequence of values can represent complex values for a filter waveform. The first and second sequences of values are generated via a joint optimization process. An objective function of the first and second sequences is a weighted sum of metrics indicative of a sidelobe level of a simulated range response and frequency suppression of the transmit and filter waveforms outside and portions inside of a target bandwidth.
