Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar transmits multiple-coded signals. In matched filter receiver, coded signals are required to have very good auto- and cross-correlation properties. These conditions are difficult to fulfill simultaneously when the lengths of the codes are short and there are many transmit antennas. In this correspondence, a receive filter matrix is designed using quadratic optimization method. The integrated correlations between the transmitted codes and the receive filter matrix in the area around zero shift are constrained under a prescribed level and the output noise power is minimized. A closed form solution is obtained. This integrated sidelobe level (ISL) method is computationally more efficient compared with the peak sidelobe level (PSL) method.
