Copula method constant modulus waveform synthesis for MIMO radar

MIMO radar is a new promising research area. In MIMO radar in compare to conventional phase array radar each radar antenna can transmit arbitrary waveform. This degree of freedom in waveforms design brings numerous benefits for MIMO radar. But to deploy these benefits, a waveform optimization problem should be solved. One of the most important criteria in designing waveforms is achieving prescribed correlation matrix. In this paper we propose a novel stochastic method based on copula for constant modulus waveform synthesis to obtain a given correlation matrix. This method is compared to existing methods for pros and cons. Simulation is carried to verify the theoretical results.
