In this Letter, the problem of waveform design for MIMO radar with good transmit beampattern performance is investigated. The binary transmit waveforms are designed via minimising the beampattern integrated sidelobe to mainlobe ratio. Since the resulting binary combination optimisation problem is NP-hard, a generalised likelihood ascent search algorithm is proposed to deal with it. Besides, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated via simulation results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
