Abstract :
An optimization problem is formulated to obtain the combined sequence of waveform parameters (pulse amplitudes and lengths, and FM sweep rates) and detection thresholds for optimal target tracking in clutter. The optimal combined sequence minimizes a tracking performance index that is a function of the probability of track loss and the estimation accuracy. A measurement model is also developed based on the resolution cell in the delay-Doppler plane for a Gaussian pulse
