Abstract:

Waveform diverse array radars can obtain the range-dependent beampattern by modulating the frequencies/time delays/phases across different transmit antenna elements. In this respect, extra Degrees-of-Freedom (DOFs) are achieved, which opens up an innovative way to fulfil the tasks with enhanced system performance by jointly using the angle and range information. This lecture summaries the concepts of waveform diverse radars, with emphasis on the range-dependent beampattern from the basic properties upon how it is controlled. Moreover, the most recent applications in target detection, parameter estimation, clutter/jammer suppression, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging are discussed.
