Joint Design of Transmit Waveform and Mismatch Filter in the Presence of Interrupted Sampling Repeater Jamming

Abstract

In this letter, a method is proposed to suppress the interrupted sampling repeater jamming (ISRJ) by jointly designing the radar waveform and mismatch filter. The joint design problem under multiple constraints is formulated with the optimization criterion of minimizing the integrated sidelobe levels (ISLs) of waveform mismatch filter output and integrated levels (ILs) of ISRJ signal mismatch filter output. An iterative algorithm is proposed to optimize the waveform and mismatch filter using Lagrange multiplier method and alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM), respectively. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves good pulse compression performance while suppressing the ISRJ.
