Title: MIMO Radar and Probing Waveform Synthesis

Abstract: Unlike a standard phased-array radar, MIMO radar can transmit via its antennas multiple probing signals that may be correlated or uncorrelated with each other. We provide herein an overview of some recent results on MIMO radar with colocated antennas, showing that this waveform diversity enables the MIMO radar superiority in several fundamental aspects. Moreover, probing waveform synthesis for MIMO radar is also discussed. We will provide a review of recent novel, cyclic approaches to single and multiple probing waveform designs. Both aperiodic and periodic correlations will be considered. We show that by making use of fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), we can now efficiently design sequences that were previously impossible to synthesize. Furthermore, we will present the computationally efficient SHAPE algorithm for shaping the spectrum of probing sequences to accommodate spectrum sharing.
