Summary: | Abstract While Doppler resilient complementary waveforms (DRCWs) have previously been considered to suppress range sidelobes within a Doppler interval of interest in radar systems, their ability to provide Doppler resilience can be further improved. A new singular value decomposition (SVD)‐based DRCW construction is proposed, in which both transmit pulse trains (made up of complementary pairs) and receive pulse weights are jointly considered. Besides, using the proposed SVD‐based method, a theoretical bound is derived for the range sidelobes within the Doppler interval of interest. Moreover, based on the SVD solutions, a challenging non‐convex optimization problem is formulated and solved to maximise the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) with the constraint of low range sidelobes. It is shown that, compared with existing DRCWs, the proposed SVD‐based DRCW has better Doppler resilience. Further, the new optimised SVD‐based DRCW has a higher SNR while maintaining the same Doppler resilience. |
