Abstract

In this paper, we perform a number of theoretical studies on constant frequency (CF) pulse waveform design and diversity in radar sensor networks (RSN): (1) the conditions for waveform co-existence, (2) interferences among waveforms in RSN, (3) waveform diversity combining in RSN. As an application example, we apply the waveform design and diversity to automatic target recognition (ATR) in RSN and propose maximum-likehood (ML)-ATR algorithms for non-fluctuating target as well as fluctuating target. Simulation results show that our waveform diversity-based ML-ATR algorithm performs much better than single-waveform ML-ATR algorithm for non-fluctuating targets or fluctuating targets. Conclusions are drawn based on our analysis and simulations.
