Title Cognitive Radar Waveform Design for Spectral Coexistence

Abstract

In the present paper, the synthesis of optimized radar waveforms ensuring spectral compatibility with the overlayed electromagnetic radiators is addressed. Cognition provided by a Radio Environmental Map (REM) is exploited so as to induces dynamic spectral constraints on the radar waveform. A waveform optimization aiming at improving some radar performances is proposed, whose feasibility is extensively studied. The procedure requires the relaxation of the original problem into a convex optimization problem and involves a polynomial computational complexity. At the analysis stage, the waveform performance is studied in terms of trade-off among the achievable Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), spectral shape, and the resulting AutoCorrelation Function (ACF).
