Ambiguity function for multistatic radar systems with orthogonal frequency waveforms

Abstract

Considering frequency diversity, we study different multistatic radar system geometries with multiple transmitters and multiple receivers in order to shape the multistatic ambiguity function in this paper. The multistatic radar system geometries and frequency diversity are shown to play an important role in evaluating radar performance. The simulation results illustrate that using orthogonal frequency waveforms, the multistatic radar system not only could minimize the interference from one waveform to the other, but also achieve better resolution.
