Joint Radar Amplifier Circuit and Waveform Optimization for Ambiguity Function, Power-Added Efficiency, and Spectral Compliance

Future radar transmitters must be adaptive and reconfigurable in real time to be able to share spectrum dynamically with wireless communications. We demonstrate the joint, back-and-forth optimization of the radar transmitter waveform and circuitry in a combined algorithm that can be used for real-time reconfiguration. While previously developed methods consider the waveform and circuit separately,...
