Abstract
The concept of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar has drawn considerable attention in recent years. One of the key technologies to enable the MIMO radar is to design the orthogonal signals to support simultaneous transmission from multiple antennas, because the orthogonality characteristics have a keen impact on the performance of the MIMO radar. In this paper, a novel approach to generate and process mutually orthogonal waveforms based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is proposed. The ambiguity function of the suggested waveforms is derived and analyzed based on the statistical derivation. A corresponding multi-channel signal processing scheme at the receiver part is proposed to eliminate the Doppler influence and suppress the cross-channel interference. Numerical simulation results based on the Monte Carlo method are presented to validate the theoretical derivation and analysis. The findings indicate that the inter-channel interference for moving targets can be eliminated and that the proposed interleaved OFDM signals are a suitable waveform set for the MIMO radar applications.
