In multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar transmit beampattern synthesis, most current literature formulates the problems in steradian space. However, since the beampattern and its parameters are both measured and defined in radian space, from the view point of physical meaning, it will be better to reformulate the problems in radian space rather than in steradian space. In this paper, we propos...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) sidelobe suppression by inserting sidelobe suppression prefix (SSP) ahead of cyclic prefix (CP). The feasibility of the proposal is verified by both simulation and experiment. OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optical communications; (070.4790) Spectrum analysis.

A pattern synthesis method for arbitrary arrays based on the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) criterion is presented. Given mainlobe regions and an arbitrary sidelobe envelope, this algorithm searches the pattern with the lowest sidelobe levels. Its iteration coefficient is robust to synthesis conditions, and patterns with a flat top mainlobe can be obtained using phase-independent ...

Earlier it was observed that polarization rotation in an AWG built from birefringent waveguides can result in sidelobes in its response. This effect was measured in a polarization sensitive AWG with an orthogonal layout. Now we investigate through detailed simulation whether this effect also exists in polarization desensitised AWGs. It is shown that a dispersion compensated AWG does not suffer ...

A novel approach to the design of efficient digital quadrature demodulators for wide bandwidth SAR systems is described. Efficiency is obtained by setting the intermediate frequency to 1/4 the ADC sampling frequency. One channel is made filterfree by synchronizing the local oscillator with the output decimator. The filter required by the other channel is optimized through global search using th...

A new Fresnel Zone (FZ) Antenna to focus the microwave power in the radiation near field region is presented. FZ Antennas, in comparison with array antennas or reflector antennas, conventional focused antennas, take the advantages of design simplicity as well as lower sidelobe levels (SLL) in both axial and transverse directions. Simulation results and comparisons made between the new structure...

The Complete Complementary Sequence (CC-S) consists of several complementary orthogonal sequences and has optimal sidelobe level performance, which is satisfied with the requirement of the orthogonal Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar signals. Aimed at the difficulty of high sidelobe level in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging processing in range dimension, an approach of depressin...

This paper deals with the design of radar receive filters which optimize either the Lp-norm of the vector containing the filter sidelobe energies or the Inverse Signal to Noise Ratio (ISNR) under an upperbound constraint on the previously mentioned Lp-norm. In both the cases, we prove that the filter design can be formulated as a convex optimization Second Order Cone Programming (SOCP) problem ...

A general framework for adaptive and non-adaptive spacetime beampattern synthesis using quadratic beampattern constraints with minimum mean-square error (MMSE) and linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) beamforming is presented. Main beam and sidelobe pattern control is achieved by imposing a set of inequality constraints on the weighted mean-square error between the adaptive pattern and ...
