The Constant Information Radar

Abstract: Abstract:The constant information radar, or CIR, is a tracking radar that modulates target revisit time by maintaining a fixed mutual information measure. For highly dynamic targets that deviate significantly from the path predicted by the tracking motion model, the CIR adjusts by illuminating the target more frequently than it would for well-modeled targets. If SNR is low, the radar delays revisit to the target until the state entropy overcomes noise uncertainty. As a result, we show that the information meas… Show more

“…The spectral shape of the waveform (set by the parameters chosen by the design method) determines whether the radar performance or the communications performance is maximized, or some weighting therein. The performance of communications is measured by the communications rate R com (bits/s), given by Equations (6), and the performance of estimation is measured by the global estimation rate, R est , (bits/s), given by Equation 7. Given an amount of spectral allocation or bandwidth, forcing the radar spectrum to be more impulse-like (most of the waveform energy is located at frequencies closer to the center of the bandwidth allocation) will reduce the noise spectral density, N int+n ( f ), due to minimal radar residual values (N resi ( f )), thereby maximizing the data rate.…”
