Doppler Resilient Waveforms Design in MIMO Radar via a Generalized Null Space Method

Abstract

To mitigate the interference caused by range sidelobes in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, we propose a new method to construct Doppler resilient complementary waveforms from complete complementary code (CCC). By jointly designing the transmit pulse train and the receive pulse weights, the range sidelobes can vanish within a specified Doppler interval. In addition, the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is maximized subject to the Doppler resilience constraint. Numerical results show that the designed waveforms have better Doppler resilience than the previous works.
