Multi-mission multi-mode waveform diversity

Previously, the authors presented a novel method for achieving range-dependent beamforming through the use of a frequency diverse array. The frequency diverse array concept was developed using a quasi-stationary waveform assumption. This concept can be extended to non-continuous wave signals for narrowband and wideband applications such as moving target indication (MTI) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Alternative implementations are described, which offer the potential for achieving MTI and SAR simultaneously.
