The Optimization Problems of Transmit and Receive Design for Radar Operating in Littoral Zones

Abstract EN

The complex environments of the littoral zones prevent the radar from operating efficiently.

We propose a waveform and filter design approach to help the radar improve the performance in littoral zones.

The approach includes a phase-only nonlinear programming method for suppressing correlation sidelobes in specified Doppler and range intervals, and an alternating projection based algorithm for designing receive filters.

Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the usage and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
