Optimum waveform design and simulation with energy constraint for elastic targets

In this paper, we apply the optimum waveform design method to meet the application of elastic targets detection and aim at enhance the target detection rate. The target is assumed to be Gaussian elastic targets and the clutter is assumed to be a stationary Gaussian random process. The detection problem then is described using Neyman-Pearson Detector. The waveform design solutions for elastic targets are given theoretically, and numerical simulated results are presented based on different transmit energy and comparison results between optimum signal and LFM signal are shown. Finally, the conclusions are drawn based on our analysis and simulations.
