Radar Waveform Design via Convex Optimization

The aim of the present work of thesis is to investigate the potentiality o?ffered by waveform design and waveform diversity. In particular, the essence is the possible application of the Optimization Theory so as to the devise high performing transmit signal/receeive fi?lter design techniques. Verily, once a certain ?figure of merit has been chosen and properly described by the mathematial language, and once the necessary data have been collected, many problems of practial interest in radar ?field can be modeled in terms of an optimization problem, where the main purpose is to optimize the system performance under some constraints imposed by interference, clutter and, more in general, the operating environment.
