Radar waveform design under the constraint of auto-correlation, orthogonality and Doppler tolerance

In order to improve the measurement capacity of fullpolarization radars, and take advantage of the target polarization information effectively, it is necessary to design suitable transmitting waveform to meet the requirement of full-polarization measurement. In this paper, a novel waveform design method is proposed. Greedy algorithm is used to optimize the phase-coded waveform design. The factors relative to auto-correlation and orthogonality performance are combined with the factor of Doppler tolerance in the cost function, and different phase-modulated waveforms could be designed to meet different requirement by adjusting their weights. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of this method.
