Summary:
In this paper, we consider the problem of waveform optimization for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar in the presence of signal-dependent noise. A novel diagonal loading (DL) based method is proposed to optimize the waveform covariance matrix (WCM) for minimizing the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) which improves the performance of parameter estimation. The resulting nonlinear optimization problem is solved by resorting to a convex relaxation that belongs to the semidefinite programming (SDP) class. An optimal solution to the initial problem is then constructed through a suitable approximation to an optimal solution of the relaxed one (in a least squares (LS) sense). Numerical results show that the performance of parameter estimation can be improved considerably by the proposed method compared to uncorrelated waveforms.
