MIMO Radar Waveform Design to Support Spectrum Sharing

In this paper, we propose an information theoretic waveform design algorithm for multiple-input multiple-output radars to support co-existence with a communication system under additional constraints on interference reduction from the clutter, minimizing the peak-to-average-power ratio and minimizing correlation levels of the radar. Numerical results are presented which show the performance of the proposed waveform design algorithm in terms of mutual information, interference reduction and sidelobe levels of the radar waveform.
