    Abstract
  • In light of challenges related to weak target detection and limited communication performance in extended clutter environments, this paper proposes a joint design of a transmit waveform and receive filter within a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Radar Communication Integration (RCI) system, considering the uncertainty in the extended Target Impulse Response (TIR). Due to difficulties in accurately determining the extended TIR, an objective function was formulated to maximize the minimum Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) within a set of sphere TIR uncertainties. To ensure reliable information transmission for each user and to achieve desirable properties of the ambiguity function for the transmission waveform, per-user interference constraints were imposed, along with constraints on waveform similarity and peak-to-average ratio. A cyclic optimization algorithm was introduced to address the nonconvex quadratic constrained fractional programming problem. The optimal receive filter was first derived using a generalized Rayleigh quotient, and the nonconvex part of the original NP-Hard problem was then transformed into a convex problem using the Lagrange duality principle and subsequently solved by the semidefinite optimization method. Also, the convergence and computational complexity of the proposed algorithm are thoroughly discussed. Furthermore, the simulation results confirmed that the algorithm effectively enhances SINR in extended clutter environments and fulfills the communication needs of multiple users.
