By choosing the proper waveforms and their parameters the distortion experienced with difficult multiple triangles may be neutralized. A multistatic radar ambiguity function is developed and used to assess performance for varying configurations. Simulations are performed demonstrating how rules will be developed for choosing the proper waveforms for use in an autonomous intelligent radar system (AIRS).","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"23 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":"134498381","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}

Denoted as Single Pulse Imaging (SPI), this technique utilizes the general framework of the Multistatic Adaptive Pulse Compression (MAPC) algorithm and applies it to monostatic radar in which Doppler-shifted realizations of the transmitted waveform are treated as different waveforms that have illuminated different range profiles thereby resulting in the superposition of different signals at the receiver. The joint separation and pulse compression of the set of received signals produces a range/Doppler image whereby, given sufficient disparity in radial velocity (and thus sufficient Doppler phase-shift diversity), individual scatterers within the same range cell can be discerned.","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"20 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":"122793783","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}

Unfortunately in many cases such as sensing and communications in urban or atmospheric scenarios, we encounter much more complex clutter and target conditions due to scattering from multiple sources. As a result we must envision a new sensing scheme to combat noise not handled by classical sensing methods. We will therefore develop framework whereby we can use the waveform to manage the physical scattering process such that our return statistics conform to the classical detection assumption such as independent identically distributed data. We will first describe how to use a well known set of waveforms in the context of a given aperture and how these waveforms propagate when we consider the wideband multi-frequency nature of the waveform. To accomplish this we will characterize different apertures in the context of varying amounts of instantaneous bandwidth and center frequency using coherence length and coherence time of the waveform in the aperture. We will then characterize the scattering process in the same context and show how the waveform must be designed using coherence principles of the scattering environment. Finally will show how our waveform process improves our discrimination performance and conclude with a detection example of this process.","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":"129088544","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}

In conventional phased arrays, beam steering is achieved by applying a linear phase progression across the aperture. Without this phase progression, the antenna beam points to broadside. However, a linear phase progression causes the electric field from each element to constructively sum in the far-field in a direction off broadside, resulting in an electronic scan. For a given linear phase progression, this scan remains fixed for all ranges in the far field. This paper shows that by applying an additional linear frequency shift across the elements, a new term is generated which results in a scan angle that varies with range in the far-field.","PeriodicalId":339522,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference","volume":"91 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":"116663388","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}
