Abstract:

MIMO radar is the next generation radar which transmits arbitrary waveforms at each one of its apertures. It has been shown that design of waveforms for MIMO radars in order to synthesize a desired spatial beampattern is mapped into a waveform correlation matrix (R) design in the narrowband case. Searching for desired R has been modeled as a convex optimization problem which demands considerable processing power. There are also some close form solutions for special cases like rectangular beampatterns. Here we deal with the problem from a matrix eigenvalue theory perspective and show how close form solutions can be found for more general cases relaxing high computational power demand. Our proposed method also fulfills uniform elemental power, targets decorrelation and low Side Lobe Level.
