Abstract
Target recognition performance can be affected by radar waveform parameters. In this paper, we established rigorous relationship between target recognition efficiency and the parameters of a repeatedly transmitted waveform. It is based on Kullback-Leibler Information Number of single observation (KLINs), which measures the dissimilarity between targets depicted by a range-velocity double spread density function in frequency domain. We considered two signal models which are different in the coherence of the observations. The method we proposed takes advantage of the methodology of sequential hypothesis test, and then the recognition performance in terms of correct classification rate is expressed by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC). Simulation results about the parameters of LFM signal show the validity of the method.
