Enhancing the MIMO-OFDM Radar systems performance using GA

This paper proposes a new peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based on a genetic algorithm (GA). It has been introduced to be compatible with Radar systems, where the GA was used to optimize the MIMO-OFDM symbols in such way that could improve the system´s performance. During this work, there was a comparison that has been stated among three systems; original radar system, radar system-based MIMO-OFDM and radar system-based MIMO-OFDM uses GA. Finally, a range of simulation results are provided to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme, since it is showed an enhancement in the coverage distance besides reducing the PAPR effects.
