Optimization of OFDM radar waveforms using genetic algorithms
This work addresses waveform design challenges for radar systems, but it appears incremental as it applies existing optimization methods to a specific domain.
The paper tackled the problem of designing OFDM radar waveforms by applying single- and multi-objective genetic algorithms to optimize pulses, resulting in improvements for radar processing solutions and enhanced detection capabilities.
In this paper, we present our investigations on the use of single objective and multiobjective genetic algorithms based optimisation algorithms to improve the design of OFDM pulses for radar. We discuss these optimization procedures in the scope of a waveform design intended for two different radar processing solutions. Lastly, we show how the encoding solution is suited to permit the optimizations of waveform for OFDM radar related challenges such as enhanced detection.
