Abstract

Cognitive Radar is a recently presented research topic, in which most efforts has been done for its conceptual description and the adaptive waveform design feature of these radars, while other aspects of additivity for optimum performance of cognitive radars has been ignored. In this paper, a framework for adaptive time resource management in Cognitive Radars is proposed. The main purpose of this paper is proposing an algorithm for time resource management, with incorporation of adaptive waveform design capability of cognitive radars, to enhance the radar performance for an efficient time resource usage. After developing the equations of radar time resource management using adaptive waveform design, an implementable algorithm is proposed for this purpose and its performance is simulated and analysed. The results show that the proposed algorithm resulted in more efficient time resource management compared to the existing ones.
