Description
Summary:Cognitive radar is an intelligent system, and it can adaptively transmit waveforms to the complex environment. The intelligent radar system should be able to provide different trade-offs among a variety of performance objectives. In this paper, we investigate the mutual information (MI) in signal-dependent interference and channel noise. We propose a waveform design method which can efficiently synthesize waveforms and provide a trade-off between estimation performance and detection performance. After obtaining a local optimal waveform, we apply the technique of generating a constant modulus signal with the given Fourier transform magnitude to the waveform. Finally we obtain a waveform that has constant modulus property.
