Abstract:
1. A method comprising optimally selecting a transmit signal and a bank of receivers to maximize correct classification of any subject target of a given pool of targets; wherein a following first equation defines the transmit signal: wherein f(t) is the transmit signal, wherein m is a fixed number depending upon the number of targets; wherein λ wherein f wherein wherein Δs wherein t is time M=the number of targets, k is an index that ranges from 1 to M, wherein τ function, t wherein L(jω) is the minimum phase whitening filter who's Fourier transform magnitude |L(jω)| satisfies: wherein G c (ω): is a clutter spectrum; wherein G n (ω): is a noise spectrum; wherein P(ω): is a fourier transform of the transmitter output filter; wherein F(ω): is a fourier transform of f(t) in first equation; wherein Q(ω): is a fourier transform of the target waveform q i (t),i=1,2, . . . , M. and wherein the first and second equations are implemented iteratively.
