Waveform Diversity in Radar Signal Processing
@article{Calderbank2009WaveformDI, title={Waveform Diversity in Radar Signal Processing}, author={A. Robert Calderbank and Stephen D. Howard and Bill Moran}, journal={IEEE Signal Processing Magazine}, year={2009}, volume={26}, pages={32-41} }
This article shows that suitably transmitted and processed, radar waveforms based on Golay sequences provide new primitives for adaptive transmission that enable better detection and finer resolution, while managing computational complexity at the receiver. The ability to exploit space-time adaptive processing is limited by the computational power available at the receiver, and increased flexibility on transmission only exacerbates this problem unless the waveforms are properly designed to…
