A Novel Orthogonal Chaos-Based Radar Waveform with Optimized Receiver Filtering

To achieve the goal of finding radar signal waveforms for supporting target information and deducing sensor-independent attributes, we propose to use a novel chaos-based orthogonal radar signal waveform with matched-filter-like (or adaptive) pulse compression processing for improving target detection. An open-source-and open-architecture prototype platform is proposed to enable performance analysis for the proposed design based on a prototype signal processor. The goal is to achieve TRL 6-7 for the prototype system and achieve readiness to transfer the propose design on existing radar signal processor in next phase.
