Stopband constraint case

Goal• Generate discrete, unimodular sequences with frequency notches

and good correlation properties

Why?• Avoiding reserved frequency bands is important in many

applications (communications, navigation..)

• Avoiding other interference

How?• SCAN (Stopband CAN) / WeSCAN (Weighted Stopband CAN)

Stopband CAN (SCAN)

• Let x(n), n = 1...N be the sought sequence

• Express the bands to be avoided as

• Define the DFT matrix with elements

• Form matrix S from the columns of FÑ corresponding to the frequencies in Ω

• We suppress the spectral power of x(n) in Ω by minimizingwhere

Stopband CAN (SCAN)

• The problem on the previous slide is equivalent to

where G are the remaining columns of FÑ .

• Suppressing the correlation sidelobes is done using the CAN formulation

Stopband CAN (SCAN)

• Combining the frequency band suppression and the correlation sidelobe suppression problems we get

where 0 ≤ λ ≤ 1 controls the relative weight on the two penalty functions.

• The problem is solved by using the algorithm on the next slide

Stopband CAN (SCAN)

• If a constrained PAR is preferable to unimodularity the problem can be solved in the same way except x for each iteration is given by the solution to

Weighted SCAN (WeSCAN)

• Minimization of J2 is a way of minimizing the ISL

• The more general WISL (weighted ISL) is given by

Weighted SCAN (WeSCAN)

The Ambiguity Function

• The response of a matched filter to a signal with various time delays and Doppler frequency shifts (extension of the correlation concept).

• The (narrowband) ambiguity function is

where u(t) is a probing signal which is assumed to be zero outside [0,T], τ is the time delay and f is the Doppler frequency shift.

The Ambiguity Function

Three properties worth noting

1. The maximum value of |χ(τ,f)| is achieved at | χ(0,0)| and is the energy of the signal, E

2. d|χ(τ,f)|= |χ(-τ,-f)|

3. D

The Ambiguity FunctionProofs1. Cauchy-Schwartz gives

and since | χ(0,0)| = E, property 1 follows.

2. Use the variable change t -> t+ τ

which implies property 2.

The Ambiguity Function• Why is there a vertical stripe at the zero delay cut?

• The ZDC is nothing but the Fourier transform of u(t)u*(t). Since u(t) is unimodular we get

and the sinc-function decreases quickly as f increases.

• No universal method that can synthesize an arbirtrary ambiguity function.
