Abstract
In this paper, we propose a general target model for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. Two types of targets are presented. For each type of target, we develop a corresponding optimum waveform designing method to optimize detection performance. Based on Chernoff-Stein lemma, we use relative entropy as the performance measure. We show that the optimum waveform designing method can obtain better detection performance than traditional orthogonal waveform designing method.
