Robust Time Resource Management in Cognitive Radar Using Adaptive Waveform Design

Abstract

The Cognitive Radar is almost a new research topic, in which most efforts have been done for its conceptual description and the adaptive waveform design feature of these radars. While other aspect of adaptive action for optimum performance of cognitive radars has been ignored. In this paper, a framework for adaptive time resource management in Cognitive Radars is proposed. The main purpose of this paper is proposing an algorithm for time resource management, with incorporation of adaptive waveform design capability of cognitive radars, to enhance the radar performance for an efficient time resource usage. After developing the equations for radar time resource management using adaptive waveform design for the first time, an implementable algorithm is proposed and its performance is simulated and analysed. The results show that using the proposed algorithm resulted in a more efficient time resource management compared to the existing ones.
