Abstract:

The normal phase coded signals in time domain is analyzed, the results imply it cannot acquire favorable waveform diversity capability when it is utilized for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar transmitted signals. The space-time coding (STC) technology is proposed for MIMO radar transmitted waveform design, the theory analysis show that this new technology can assimilate the waveforms’ cross correlation energy obviously, and the echo signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) is improved, which makes the new system acquire better waveform diversity capability. Finally, the probable development aspects of the STC and some problem for its application in practical project are discussed. The simulation results verify the proposed method’s validity.
