Abstract

Abstract

Considering uncertain knowledge of target aspect angle (TAA), this paper copes with the joint optimization of transmit sequences and receive filter array for the detection of extended target in the presence of clutter disturbance. We consider joint transmit-receive design in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) structure to optimize the worst Signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the receive filter array. Through a suitable reformulation, we propose a sequential optimization algorithm which monotonically enhances the worst SINR value. Each iteration of the process, includes a convex and a worst-case optimization problem which can be handled by the generalized Dinkelbachs method with a lower computational burden. In addition, resorting to several mathematical manipulations, the original problem is transformed into an equivalent convex problem, which can also be solved via interior-point techniques. Finally, the usefulness of two optimization techniques is confirmed through experimental simulation, emphasizing the detection capability improvement generated by the proposed approaches.
