Abstract

In this letter, we focus on designing constant-modulus waveform with discrete phases for the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar, where the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is maximized in the presence of both the signal-dependent clutter and the noise. Given the NP-hardness of the formulated problem, we propose to relax the original optimization as a sequence of continuous quadratic programming (QP) subproblems by use of the convex hull of the discrete feasible region, which yields approximated solutions with much lower computational costs. Finally, we assess the effectiveness of the proposed waveform design approach by numerical simulations.
