Abstract:

A method of radar waveform design based on joint optimization criteria is proposed for multiple modes and tasks in different environments, this method comprehensively considers the mutual information and signal to interference noise ratio. With the transmitted signal energy constraint, the optimal waveform is solved by the maximum marginal allocation algorithm, the gradient of mutual information and signal to interference noise ratio is discussed. mutual information and signal to interference noise ratio are improved concurrently and they are optimized independently according to launch requirements when the coefficients are changed. Finally, the signal model realizes parameter estimation, testing or discernment with one or fewer observations, aiming at providing research basis for multi-function model design of radar waveform optimization.

Key words: cognitive radar, waveform design, objective function, joint optimization criterion, the maximum edge allocation algorithm
