Abstract

New scalable and flexible waveforms offer a great number of new opportunities for object- or environment-tailored signal processing. The paper will discuss two classes of such flexible waveforms, i.e. single carrier waveforms with orthogonal modulations and multiple carrier coded waveforms. These waveforms may for instance be used for the benefit of scalable resolution, fast unambiguous Doppler assessment, two-channel code-orthogonality supporting to measure the full back scatter matrix in radar polarimetry, and message transfer in a network by radar.
