Optimal Adaptive Waveform Selection Based on ADP in Cognitive Radar

Cognitive radar is a new framework radar system proposed in 2003 and waveform selection is an important problem in this type of radar. In this paper, we design a knowledged-based (KB) waveform selector and use stochastic dynamic programming model to describe waveform selection problem. To solve the problem of curses of dimensionality, we use approximate dynamic programming (ADP) in our solution. This method is operative and efficient.
