The Study on Waveform Sets Transmission for Multistatic Radar

Abstract:

This study is concerned with finding waveforms which are easily separated, thereby facilitating multistatic radar. However this study considers the use of multiple waveforms at each transmitter. Each waveform is transmitted in a separate independent channel; however each transmitter uses the same set of channels. These channels might be orthogonal frequencies, time delays, or polarisation. In this study we exploit the fact that complementary codes occur in mutually–orthogonal sets. These codes are used to create several waveform sets, each of which is assigned to a different transmitter, and the component waveforms then transmitted in different channels.
