Abstract

A confluence of steady advances in radar enabling technologies, and ever increasing demands on radar performance in challenging environments, has afforded a re-examination of the fundamental theoretical framework upon which classical waveform design is based. For example, the advent of “digital radar” (e.g., solid state amplifiers, digital arbitrary waveform generators (DAWGs), etc.) allows for a far greater level of waveform diversity than has previously been the case. Major advances in high performance embedded computing (HPEC) including general purpose graphical processing units (GPUs), have allowed for the inclusion ...
