Abstract:
This work establishes the importance of radar waveforms in determining classification performance in radar systems. The objective is to design a radar waveform to minimise the probability of target misclassification in a 2-class problem while satisfying an energy constraint. The derivation results in a simple analytical form for the spectrum of the optimal signal. An example is presented showing the improvement in classification performance of the optimal waveform over a linearly frequency modulated waveform.
