Abstract
This paper deals with the synthesis of constant modulus waveforms that optimize radar performance while satisfying multiple spectral compatibility constraints. For each shared band, a precise control is imposed on the injected interference energy. Furthermore, the compliance with amplifiers operating in saturation is ensured at the design stage where phase-only waveforms are considered. To tackle the resulting NP-hard optimization problem, an iterative procedure based on the coordinate descent method is introduced. The overall computational burden of the algorithm is linear with respect to the code length as well as the number of iterations and less then cubic with reference to the number of spectral constraints. Hence, some case studies are reported to highlight the effectiveness of the technique.
