Active beamforming with interpolated FIR filtering

Abstract

The interpolated FIR (IFIR) radar was recently introduced in the context of MIMO radar theory. It was shown that this system has a signal to clutter ratio intermediate between those of the SIMO and MIMO radars. This paper considers the optimal design of the active IFIR beamformer in presence of jammers. It is shown that this beamformer can achieve beamwidths as sharp as those of colocated MIMO radars with full-length virtual arrays. At the same time, the extra complexity of MIMO radars, which arises from use of multiple transmitter waveforms and several sets of receiver matched filter banks, is not present in the IFIR realization. Design examples for IFIR radars which optimize the receiver beamforming weights in presence of jammers for fixed transmitter are also presented.
