MIMO radar waveform design for multiple extended target estimation based on greedy SINR maximization

Abstract

The paper studies waveform and receiver design for MIMO radars through a greedy procedure based on maximization of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The procedure enables joint design of estimation waveforms for multiple extended targets and maximizes also the sum of radar mutual information measures. Numerical results obtained from simulations are presented to illustrate the proposed approach. Different scenarios with various levels of interference among targets are considered and characteristics of the waveforms designed in each scenario are discussed. Results indicate that the designed waveforms overlap in fewer frequency bands when interference between target reflections is stronger.
