Most techniques for dealing with TTD rely on identifying and removing heterogeneous samples (range gates) from the Training Data (TD). In target rich environments, this process can result in a drastic reduction in training data quantity and impede performance. This paper presents an alternative to TTD using a modern planar Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) to adaptively shape transmit antenna patterns such that transmit nulls are placed along road locations in the radar scene. It is shown that this technique effectively reduces TTD reflections and restores TD that would otherwise be removed; both the quality and quantity of available TD increases.","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127341843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the current work is to design transmit waveforms and receive filters jointly to perform clutter suppression by adaptive transmit. Our approach starts with the development of a physics based forward model for SAR. Next, we formulate design of clutter rejecting waveforms as a variational problem using the minimum mean square error criteria. The resulting waveforms lead to an adaptive linear least squares transmit scheme in which waveforms vary at every point on the flight path based on the clutter and target spectral density functions.","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131059773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By writing a space-time transmit signal as an expansion of space-time basis functions, transmit signal optimization can be reduced to simply finding an optimal set of complex weights. These weights form a data vector that can be determined for different optimization criteria, using linear algebraic techniques. Unfortunately, the optimality criteria where solutions are most easily found do not provide useful results for radar applications. Instead, mini-max or maxi-min criteria are often more applicable. An iterative solution for maximizing the minimum individual target-to-clutter-ratio is described, and results are presented. Moreover, the form of the resulting space-transmit signal is investigated, both at the transmitter and when incident on the illuminated targets. It is shown that the time-frequency spectrum incident on different targets can be dissimilar if true space-time transmit signals are applied. Different targets will then appear to be illuminated by different radar transmitters.","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130525466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applications that are being investigated include: • Multi-Mission Systems, including joint radar/embedded communications and simultaneous multi-mission radar • Advanced Target Classification, using multi-static imaging or multi-band/multi-static operation • Multi-Static Surveillance, including using distributed apertures to provide improved detection, tracking and interference rejection • Radars with unique modulation or unique spectrum usage. Each of these applications has constraints that prevent them from being accomplished with conventional waveforms. However, the greater design space of waveform diversity may provide the required capability. In previous work, multi-mission waveform methodology was extended to provide interleaved waveforms sequentially radiated from an aperture, and simultaneous orthogonal waveforms radiated from sub-apertures of the radar system. But effective operation in other modes (track, id, handoff) will require greater flexibility than is available with only the interleaved and sub-aperture approaches. A further advance in multi-mission waveform is required. Orthogonal waveforms must be radiated from the whole aperture simultaneously in addition to the mode using sub-apertures. In fact, a full capability multi-mission radar would require all three modes and the goal of our ongoing effort is to develop and demonstrate such a capability. When this goal is met, airborne radar systems concepts can be developed to meet a full spectrum of multi-mission needs. Our effort to develop simultaneous waveforms for air and ground surveillance (SWAGS) focuses on the critical software and hardware technologies required to make this full capability multi-mission radar feasible.","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114708437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
