This paper addresses the waveform design problem of cognitive radar for extended target estimation in the presence of signal-dependent clutter, subject to a peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) constraint. Owing to this kind of constraint and the convolution operation of the waveform in the time domain, the formulated optimization problem for maximizing the mutual information (MI) between the target and the received signal is a complex non-convex problem. To this end, an efficient waveform design method based on minimization–maximization (MM) technique is proposed. First, by using the MM approach, the original non-convex problem is converted to a convex problem concerning the matrix variable. Then a trick is used for replacing the matrix variable with the vector variable by utilizing the properties of the Toeplitz matrix. Based on this, the optimization problem can be solved efficiently combined with the nearest neighbor method. Finally, an acceleration scheme is used to improve the convergence speed of the proposed method. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is superior to the existing methods in terms of estimation performance when designing the constrained waveform.

Cognitive radar is an intelligent radar system, and adaptive waveform design is one of the core problems in cognitive radar research. In the previous studies, it is assumed that the prior information of the target is known, and the definition of target spectrum variance has not changed. In this paper, we study on robust waveform design problem in multiple targets scene. We hope that the upper and lower bounds of the uncertainty range of robustness are more close to the actual situation, and establish a finite time random target signal model based on mutual information (MI). On the basis of the optimal transmitted waveform and robust waveform based on MI, we redefine the target spectrum variance as harmonic variance, and propose a novel robust waveform design method based on harmonic variance and MI. We compare its performance with robust waveform based on original variance. Simulation results show that, in the situation of multiple targets, compared to the original variance, the MI lifting rate of robust waveform based on harmonic variance relative to the optimal transmitted waveform in the uncertainty range has great improvement. In certain circumstances, robust waveform based on harmonic variance and MI is more suitable for more targets.

The Given

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.
