Abstract
A comprehensive theory of matched illumination waveforms for both deterministic and stochastic
extended targets is presented. Design of matched waveforms based on maximization of both
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and mutual information (MI) is considered. In addition the problem of
matched waveform design in signal-dependent interference is extensively addressed. New results
include SNR-based waveform design for stochastic targets, SNR-based design for a known target
in signal-dependent interference, and MI-based design in signal-dependent interference. Finally we
relate MI and SNR in the context of waveform design for stochastic targets.
