Waveform-Diverse Sensors
Abstract
The electromagnetic spectrum has become increasingly crowded in recent years as a result of the demand for higher bandwidths for greater communication throughput and finer resolution radar imaging. Thus efficient use of bandwidth is essential to meet the needs of a wide variety of technological disciplines. For radar applications perhaps the greatest challenges to attaining high spectral efficiency are the need for spectrally clean emissions that minimize the out-of-band interference and the complementary need for advanced receiver designs to enable the separation and processing of multiple radar and communications signals that mutually interfere with one another. In essence, instead of dealing with interference as simply a deleterious effect, it can be exploited as additional sources of information without the requirement of additional bandwidth. This 'waveform diverse' perspective is used to facilitate numerous performance enhancements and new operating modes for sensing.
