Abstract
A radar waveform design technique which utilizes Lagrange's method of multipliers to control temporal sidelobes and to reduce Doppler sidelobes is described. This classical method of constrained optimization is applied to the problem of synthesizing a radar wave-form where mismatch loss is the objective function to be minimized. The associated constraints are taken from expressions for the composite temporal sidelobes of the cross-correlation response and the peak correlation response where sets of code words are used to modulate a series of radar pulses. The resulting code sets and receiver reference sets are called group-complementary and produce a trench parallel to or on the range axis of the cross-ambiguity surface.Keywords
