Abstract

In this paper, the design of binary sequences exhibiting low values of aperiodic/periodic correlation functions, in terms of Integrated Sidelobe Level (ISL), is pursued via a learning-inspired method. Specifcally, the synthesis of either a single or a burst of codes is addressed, with reference to both Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar systems. Two optimization machines, referred to as two-layer and single-layer Binary Sequence Correlation Network (BiSCorN), able to learn actions to design binary sequences with small ISL/Complementary ISL (CISL) for SISO and MIMO systems are proposed. These two networks differ in terms of the capability to synthesize Low-Correlation-Zone (LCZ) sequences and computational cost. Numerical experiments show that proposed techniques can outperform state-of-the-art algorithms for the design of binary sequences and Complementary Sets of Sequences (CSS) in terms of ISL and, interestingly, of Peak Sidelobe Level (PSL).
