چکیده

در این مقاله، مسئله‌­ طراحی دنباله کد فرستنده به­منظور بهبود کارآیی آشکارسازی یک هدف گسترده در حضور تداخل را در نظر می‌گیریم. پاسخ ضربه­ هدف (TIR) ­­به دو صورت مدل می‌شود: ضرب پاسخ ضربه­ قطعی در یک ضریب انعکاس نامعلوم و یا به‌صورت بردار تصادفی گوسی با کوواریانس معلوم. برای هر یک از دو مدل مذکور، قید نسبت پیک به توان متوسط و قید شباهت را به‌صورت مجزا، به مسئله­ طراحی کد اعمال می‌کنیم. در مدل اول، کارآیی آشکارساز آزمون نسبت درست­نمایی تعمیم‌یافته (GLRT)، به‌طور یکنوا به نسبت سیگنال به اختلال باضافه‌­ نویز (SINR) وابسته است. بنابراین، با بیشینه کردن SINR، کد را طراحی می‌کنیم. مسئله‌­ بهینه‌سازی حاصل، غیرمحدب بوده که برای حل آن یک روش جدید پیشنهاد می‌کنیم. در مدل دوم، وابستگی کارآیی آشکارساز بهینه به پارامترهای مسئله، بسیار پیچیده است. بنابراین، از اطلاعات متقابل بین TIR و اکوی دریافتی، به­عنوان معیار طراحی استفاده می‌کنیم. برای حل مسئله‌­ بهینه‌سازی غیرمحدب حاصل، یک روش تکرار بر اساس روش MM (Majorization-Minimization) ارائه می‌کنیم. هم‌چنین، روش پیشنهادی را در مقابل عدم قطعیت در دانش اولیه در مورد تداخل، مقاوم‌سازی می‌کنیم. نتایج و تحلیل‌های عددی، مؤثر بودن روش‌های پیشنهادی در مقایسه با روش‌های موجود را نشان می‌دهند.

چکیده [English]

We consider the problem of transmit code design to enhance the detection performance of an extended target embedded in clutter. We model the target impulse response (TIR) in two frameworks, either via the product of a deterministic TIR with an unknown reflection factor or as a Gaussian random vector (with known covariance). For both frameworks, we impose either the peak-to-average-power ratio or the similarity constraints on the sought code, separately. In the former framework, the performance of the generalized likelihood-ratio test depends monotonically on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the detector. Hence, we cope with the code design, maximizing the SINR. The resulting optimization problem is non-convex, and we propose a novel approach to tackle it. In the latter, dependence of the optimal detector’s performance on the metrics is too complex for code design. Consequently, we employ the mutual information between the TIR ensemble and the received echo as the design metric. We devise an iterative method based on majorization-minimization technique to deal with the resulting non-convex constrained problem. We make the proposed method robust to deal with uncertainties about prior knowledge of clutter and interference. Numerical analyses highlight the effectiveness of the proposed methods comparing to their counterparts.
