Delay compensation by Carath ′eodory representation could achieve high interpolation accuracy while using the single channel sampling technique. Array extrapolation by Carath ′eodory representation reformulates and extends each snapshot, consequently extends the aperture of the original uniform linear array(ULA) by several times and provides a better realtime performance than the existing aperture extrapolation utilizing vector extrapolation based on the two dimensional autoregressive(2-D AR) model. The UWB linear frequency modulated(LFM) signal is used for simulation analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is featured by a much higher spatial resolution than traditional DBF methods and lower sidelobes than using Lagrange fractional filters.展开更多

An anti-interference multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing ultra-wideband （AI-UWB） system, based on spreading and interleaving is addressed. It will exploit the frequency diversity across the subcarriers and provide the robustness to narrow-band interference, by spreading the coded bit streams within each sub-band and interleaving across all sub-bands. Simulating results show that the spreading and interleaving provide about 5 dB to 10 dB advantages over the conventional multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing ultra-wideband system in signal-to-interference ratio. Spreading and interleaving is an effective cure for enhancing the robustness to narrowband interference.展开更多

Firstly, a sequence of Morlet wavelet pulses with frequency hopping and pulse position modulation by Welch-Costas array is designed. Then a waveform optimization solution is proposed which is achieved by applying the minimization mutual-information（MI） strategy. After that, with subsequent iterations of the algorithm, simulation results demonstrate that the optimal waveform design method brings an improvement in the target detection ability in the presence of noise and clutter.展开更多
