Abstract :
WiMAX is the latest globally accepted wireless broadband access standard, which is also a valuable illuminator for passive radar. This paper analyzes the ambiguity function of WiMAX signal to evaluate its suitability as radar waveform. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that WiMAX signal has a `bed of nails´ type ambiguity function, whose properties depend on its frame structure, length of cyclic prefix and effective bandwidth. The modulation method has no effect on the ambiguity function.
