Ambiguity Function design via Accelerated Iterative Sequential Optimization

This paper focuses on the Ambiguity Function design for the unimodular sequence, which is of great interest in radar and communication systems. An Accelerated Iterative Sequential Optimization (AISO) algorithm is proposed to minimize the average value of the weighted integrated side-lobe level (WISL) over specific Doppler bins and range bins of interest. At the analysis stage, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of the achieved WISL and computation time with respect to the gradient method using numerical simulations.
