Abstract:

According to the signal processing characteristic of MIMO radars, an adaptive dwell scheduling algorithm is proposed. It is based on a novel pulse interleaving technique, which makes full use of transmitting, waiting and receiving durations of radar dwells. The utilization of transmitting duration is unique for MIMO radars and is realized through transmitting duration overlapping. Simulation results show that, compared with the conventional scheduling algorithm, the scheduling performance of MIMO radars can be improved effectively by the proposed algorithm, and the scheduling rule can be chosen arbitrarily when using the proposed algorithm.
