Introduction:
This talk focuses on the joint synthesis of constant envelope transmit signal and receive filter aimed at optimizing radar performance in signal-dependent interference and spectrally contested-congested environments. To ensure the desired Quality of Service (QoS) at each communication system, a precise control of the interference energy injected by the radar in each licensed shared bandwidth is imposed. Besides, along with an upper bound to the maximum transmitted energy, constant envelope (with either arbitrary or discrete phases) and similarity constraints are forced to ensure compatibility with amplifiers operating in saturation regime and bestow relevant waveform features, respectively. To handle the resulting NP-hard design problems, new iterative procedures (with ensured convergence properties) are devised to account for continuous and discrete phase constraints, capitalizing on the Coordinate Descent (CD) framework. Numerical results are provided to assess the effectiveness of the conceived algorithms in comparison with the existing methods.
Speakers’ profiles：
Augusto Aubry received the Dr. Eng. degree (with Honors) and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering, both from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 2007 and 2011, respectively. From February to April 2012, he was a Visiting Researcher with the Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong. He is currently under research agreement with the Department of Electrical and Information Technology Engineering, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy. His research interests include statistical signal processing and optimization theory, with emphasis on MIMO communications and radar signal processing. Dr. Aubry is the co-recipient of the Best Paper Awards (entitled to B. Carlton) of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS with the contribution “Knowledge-Aided (Potentially Cognitive) Transmit Signal and Receive Filter Design in Signal-Dependent Clutter”.
