Title:	Optimal Polarized Waveform Design for Active Target Parameter Estimation Using Electromagnetic Vector Sensors
Authors:	Martin Hurtado, Arye Nehorai, University of Illinois at Chicago, United States
Abstract:	We develop optimal design methods of polarimetric radar signals that improve the estimation accuracy of the target parameters. A weighted sum of the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) of the parameters of interest is used as the cost function of the optimization. We employ an array of electromagnetic vector sensors to fully recover the polarization information from the target returns. Simulation examples illustrate the improved system performance.
