Abstract :
We propose a waveform power allocation technique for a set of clusters of radars in a radar network using a game theoretic method. Each cluster consists of a number of radars forming a MIMO configuration. There is no communication between the clusters in the network, hence the power allocation in the radars within each cluster is performed using a non-cooperative game theoretic technique. The aim of each cluster of radars in the network is to minimise the total power used by the radars in its cluster while achieving a target detection criterion. The convergence of the algorithm to the Nash equilibrium is demonstrated.
