Space-Range Adaptive Processing for Waveform-Diverse Radar Imaging

Abstract

Waveform-diverse radar arrays have been proposed as a method to facilitate single pulse imaging as well as to potentially enable simultaneous multi-mode operation. Transmitting different waveforms on the elements of a uniform linear array consequently raises the spatial and temporal sidelobes of the receiver matched filter. In this paper a recursive minimum mean square error based receiver design denoted as Space-Range Adaptive Processing is presented. The new method is capable of mitigating space range sidelobes thereby providing enhanced sensitivity for this transmission scheme.
