Performance comparison for constrained radar waveform design

With more users populating the frequency spectrum and less available contiguous bandwidth, radar and communication waveforms are slowly forced to become more efficient at using their available frequencies. In this paper, unconstrained algorithms for jointly designing complex digital transmit wave forms and receive filters are considered. Varying a convex weight trades performance between signal-to-interference-plus noise ratio (SINR) and sidelobe levels. Through an empirical study, performance for constrained radar waveform design is established for an instantiation of the interference spectrum.
