Bio-inspired Waveform in a Multistatic Configuration

Waveform diversity is a topic of major interest in the context of multistatic radar. This paper presents a bio-inspired waveform in order to potentially broaden the range of available waveforms. In particular, we aim at transmitting several waveforms in the same band, while maintaining the radar performances. The performances of systems transmitting the proposed waveform or different chirp-based waveforms is assessed by measuring the isolation level, Doppler tolerance and sidelobe levels. Improvements in the sidelobe levels of the considered waveforms are discussed with the application of the mismatched filter and its influence on the isolation properties and Doppler tolerance.
