Abstract
The well-known LPI (Low Probability of Intercept) and antispoofing capabilities of some radar waveforms as well some other desirable feature such as a low sidelobes level of their autocorrelation function can be enhanced by “tailored” pseudo-random sequences, whose phase is made up by a deterministic part plus a variable random term. With such an approach it is possible to design a virtually unlimited number of noisy waveforms with good auto-correlation properties (PSLR, i.e. Peak to Side Lobe Ratio) and, for MIMO applications, good orthogonality between them. In this paper the LPI characteristic are analyzed by evaluation of the variation of their information rate with their “randomness” varying. It results that an ad-hoc tradeoff between the different requirements (LPI, PSLR) is required in most cases.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
