This study presents a novel active sonar and radar pulse waveform design theory for optimal target detection. The optimal waveform maximizes signal-to-noise ratio and resolution in cluttered environments.

Area of Science:

  • Signal processing
  • Waveform design
  • Target detection

Background:

  • Cluttered environments pose challenges for target detection using active sonar and radar systems.
  • Existing waveform design methods may not optimally balance signal-to-noise ratio and resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for designing optimal active sonar and radar pulse waveforms.
  • To maximize target signal detection in environments with significant clutter.

Main Methods:

  • A cost function L was formulated, integrating signal-to-noise ratio and a generalized Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
  • This function balances bandwidth (range resolution) against signal gain.
  • The optimal pulse waveform was derived as the ground state solution of a Schrödinger-type equation in frequency space.

Main Results:

  • The optimal pulse waveform concentrates energy in frequency bands with high target reflectivity relative to clutter.
  • This approach provides a theoretical basis for enhanced target detection performance.
  • The method offers a generalized Heisenberg uncertainty principle for waveform optimization.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed theory provides a robust method for active sonar and radar waveform design.
  • Optimal waveforms enhance target detection by strategically allocating energy in frequency.
  • This research contributes to improved performance in challenging detection scenarios.
