This is the first book to discuss current and future applications of waveform diversity and design in subjects such as radar and sonar, communications systems, passive sensing, and many other technologies. Waveform diversity allows researchers and system designers to optimize electromagnetic and acoustic systems for sensing, communications, electronic warfare or combinations thereof. It enables solutions to problems with how each system performs its own particular function as well as how it is affected by other systems and how those other systems may likewise be affected. It is an excellent standalone introduction to waveform diversity and design, which takes a high potential technology area and makes it visible to other researchers, as well as young engineers. 1 Classical radar waveform design 2 Information theory and radar waveform design 3 Multistatic ambiguity function and sensor placement strategies 4 MIMO radar waveform design 5 Passive bistatic radar waveforms 6 Biologically inspired waveform diversity 7 Continuous waveforms for automotive radar systems 8 Multistatic and waveform-diverse radar pulse compression 9 Optimal channel selection in a multistatic radar system 10 Waveform design for non-cooperative radar networks 11 Introduction 12 Space-time diversity for active antenna systems 13 Autocorrelation constraints in radar waveform optimization for detection 14 Adaptive waveform design for radar target classification 15 Adaptive waveform design for tracking 16 Adaptive polarization design for target detection and tracking 17 Knowledge-aided transmit signal and receive filter design in signal-dependent clutter References Notation Index
