Abstract:

The traditional MIMO radar pulse compression algorithm has a high-level range sidelobe since the radar waveforms are generally not totally orthogonal, which causes bad detection performance. In this paper, based on maximal signal-to-inference plus noise ratio criteria, a reiteration-based adaptive pulse compression algorithm for MIMO radar is proposed. This algorithm uses the range profile information to adatively suppress the range sidelobe, interference and noise. Simulation results show that the range sidelobe can be evidently reduced and works effrctively both in moving target and multiple target cases.

Key words: MIMO radar, pulse compression, adaptive processing, range sidelobe suppression, maximal signal-to interference plus noise ratio
