Abstract

Abstract

To prevent the degradation of the detection performance of Dual-Function Radar-Communication (DFRC) system in the presence of clutter, we propose the joint design of a transmit waveform and receiver filter to suppress the clutter and enhance the target detection performance. We use the Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) as the design criterion. Meanwhile, the Multi-User Interference (MUI) energy of the communication signals is constrained to maintain the quality of service for information transmission via DFRC systems. In addition, a similarity constraint is enforced to enable the transmitted waveform to have a good ambiguity function. To tackle the joint optimization problem, we present an iterative algorithm based on cyclic optimization and Semi-Definite Relaxation (SDR). The convergence of the algorithm is proved by a theoretical analysis. The simulation results show that the designed waveform can improve the target detection performance of a DFRC system in clutter and efficiently realize multi-user communication.
