Abstract

Abstract A Design, simulation and optimal selection of non-linear frequency modulation waveforms (NLFM) based on correlated ambiguity function (AF) quality analysis for the purpose of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is done in this article. The selected optimum CNLFM waveform in contribution with other waveforms are applied directly into a SAR image formation algorithm (IFA) and their quality metrics in comparison to other waveforms are derived and analyzed in a complex random media (CRM). The total quality performance analysis includes both the qualitative AF diagrams and the objective image quality metrics assessments. The simulation results not only verify the robustness of the proposed NLFM waveforms as a suitable alternative for LFM waveform but also introduce NLFM as a proper method of modulation for SAR in CRM.
