Abstract
The orthogonal waveform design and good hardware realization of multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) radar have always been important research topics. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) chirp waveform has received more attention because of its large time-bandwidth product, constant modulus, no range-Doppler coupling, good orthogonality, and good Doppler tolerance. Dechirp technique can reduce the amount of raw sampled data very well in near-field miniature lightweight MIMO radar detection and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. However, most of the current waveform analysis methods are based on matched filtering (MF). In this letter, an ambiguity function (AF) based on the dechirp signal processing approach to analyze the waveform performance is proposed, called dechirp ambiguity function (DAF). The pulse compression performance of the waveform itself and the level of mutual interference between the waveforms are described from the perspective of DAF. Numerical results validate reliability and effectiveness of the DAF.
