Waveform design for distributed aperture using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization

In this work, we consider a distributed aperture radar system and present a method for clutter rejecting waveforms and reflectivity function reconstruction. This work generalizes the monostatic radar waveform design method for range-doppler imaging, developed in [1], [2] to distributed aperture radar systems. The designed waveforms also lead to a filtered backprojection type reconstruction of the reflectivity function which can be efficiently implemented in a parallel fashion.
