MIMO Coded Radar Waveform Design for Optimal Tracking

Abstract

A conceptual framework for the design of transmit signals for MIMO radar systems as developed for communication signals has been formulated. This was achieved by constructing a generalized matched filter in analogy of the usual case. The corresponding maximum likelihood receiver was studied in detail and shown this to be optimal in accordance with the Cramer-Rao lower-bound criterion. Mathematics for defining and generating coding coefficients was developed. Tracking of a single target has been treated within this framework in terms of state equations. A tracker defined by Kalman predictor has been introduced. A channel/target model involving both linear and nonlinear dynamics has been studied.
