Popis: In waveform sharing scenarios, various radar receivers have been developed for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. More general waveforms, such as pulse-shaped multicarrier modulations received little attention so far, despite their increased robustness to high-Doppler scatterers. In this paper, we compare the performance of two correlation-based radar receivers, namely the matched filter and the symbol-based technique, when used with different pulse-shaped multicarrier waveforms. We express the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio in the range-Doppler map, taking into account the pedestal (or random sidelobes) induced by the symbols. Benefits of pulse shaping is further illustrated in a realistic vehicular scenario, in presence of multiple targets and ground clutter. In this context, the symbol-based approach outperforms the matched filter while enjoying a low-computational complexity. More generally, our results reveal the multicarrier pulse shape as a relevant degree of freedom in waveform co-design approaches (e.g., cognitive radar/communication systems).
