Overview of Radar Waveform Diversity

Radar waveform diversity has received considerable attention in recent years due to increasing spectral congestion and the burgeoning capabilities of digital waveform generation. The promise of waveform diversity is far greater utilization of available degrees of freedom to enhance sensing performance and to even facilitate new operating modes. This tutorial provides an overview of this very broad topic, from the basic principles upon which it is founded to the myriad different areas being explored in research for practical sensing applications.
