We describe a method of constructing a sequence of phase coded waveforms with perfect autocorrelation in the presence of Doppler shift. The constituent waveforms are Golay complementary pairs which have perfect autocorrelation at zero Doppler but are sensitive to nonzero Doppler shifts. We extend this construction to multiple dimensions, in particular to radar polarimetry, where the two dimensions are realized by orthogonal polarizations. Here we determine a sequence of two-by-two Alamouti matrices where the entries involve Golay pairs and for which the sum of the matrix-valued ambiguity functions vanish at small Doppler shifts. The Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence plays a key role in the construction of Doppler resilient sequences of Golay pairs.

We present a general method for constructing radar transmit pulse trains and receive filters for which the radar point-spread function in delay and Doppler (radar cross-ambiguity function) is essentially free of range sidelobes inside a Doppler inter val around the zero-Doppler axis. The transmit and receive pulse trains are constructed by coordinating the transmission of a pair of Golay complementary waveforms across time according to zeros and ones in a binary sequence $P$. In the receive pulse train filter, each waveform is weighted according to an element from another sequence $Q$. We show that the spectrum of essentially the product of $P$ and $Q$ sequences controls the size of the range sidelobes of the cross-ambiguity function. We annihilate the range sidelobes at low Doppler by designing the $(P,Q)$ pairs such that their products have high-order spectral nulls around zero Doppler. We specify the subspace, along with a basis, for such sequences, thereby providing a general way of constructing $(P,Q)$ pairs. At the same time, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver output, for a single point target in white noise, depends only on the choice of $Q$. By jointly designing the transmit-receive sequences $(P,Q)$, we can maximize the output SNR subject to achieving a given order of the spectral null. The proposed $(P,Q)$ constructions can also be extended to sequences consisting of more than two complementary waveforms; this is done explicitly for a library of Golay complementary quads. Finally, we extend the construction of $(P,Q)$ pairs to multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar, by designing transmit-receive pairs of paraunitary waveform matrices whose matrix-valued cross-ambiguity function is essentially free of range sidelobes inside a Doppler interval around the zero-Doppler axis.

Optical fiber signals with high power exhibit spectral broadening that seems to limit capacity. To study spectral broadening, the autocorrelation function of the output signal given the input signal is derived for a simplified fiber model that has ze ro dispersion, distributed optical amplification (OA), and idealized spatial noise processes. The autocorrelation function is used to upper bound the output power of bandlimited or time-resolution limited receivers, and thereby to bound spectral broadening and the capacity of receivers with thermal noise. The output power scales at most as the square-root of the launch power, and thus capacity scales at most as one-half the logarithm of the launch power. The propagating signal bandwidth scales at least as the square-root of the launch power. However, in practice the OA bandwidth should exceed the signal bandwidth to compensate attenuation. Hence, there is a launch power threshold beyond which the fiber model loses practical relevance. Nevertheless, for the mathematical model an upper bound on capacity is developed when the OA bandwidth scales as the square-root of the launch power, in which case capacity scales at most as the inverse fourth root of the launch power.
In this paper, we study the prediction of a circularly symmetric zero-mean stationary Gaussian process from a window of observations consisting of finitely many samples. This is a prevalent problem in a wide range of applications in communication the ory and signal processing. Due to stationarity, when the autocorrelation function or equivalently the power spectral density (PSD) of the process is available, the Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) predictor is readily obtained. In particular, it is given by a linear operator that depends on autocorrelation of the process as well as the noise power in the observed samples. The prediction becomes, however, quite challenging when the PSD of the process is unknown. In this paper, we propose a blind predictor that does not require the a priori knowledge of the PSD of the process and compare its performance with that of an MMSE predictor that has a full knowledge of the PSD. To design such a blind predictor, we use the random spectral representation of a stationary Gaussian process. We apply the well-known atomic-norm minimization technique to the observed samples to obtain a discrete quantization of the underlying random spectrum, which we use to predict the process. Our simulation results show that this estimator has a good performance comparable with that of the MMSE estimator.
In this paper, we determine the 4-adic complexity of the balanced quaternary sequences of period $2p$ and $2(2^n-1)$ with ideal autocorrelation defined by Kim et al. (ISIT, pp. 282-285, 2009) and Jang et al. (ISIT, pp. 278-281, 2009), respectively. O ur results show that the 4-adic complexity of the quaternary sequences defined in these two papers is large enough to resist the attack of the rational approximation algorithm.
In this paper, we develop new fast and efficient algorithms for designing single/multiple unimodular waveforms/codes with good auto- and cross-correlation or weighted correlation properties, which are highly desired in radar and communication systems . The waveform design is based on the minimization of the integrated sidelobe level (ISL) and weighted ISL (WISL) of waveforms. As the corresponding optimization problems can quickly grow to large scale with increasing the code length and number of waveforms, the main issue turns to be the development of fast large-scale optimization techniques. The difficulty is also that the corresponding optimization problems are non-convex, but the required accuracy is high. Therefore, we formulate the ISL and WISL minimization problems as non-convex quartic optimization problems in frequency domain, and then simplify them into quadratic problems by utilizing the majorization-minimization technique, which is one of the basic techniques for addressing large-scale and/or non-convex optimization problems. While designing our fast algorithms, we find out and use inherent algebraic structures in the objective functions to rewrite them into quartic forms, and in the case of WISL minimization, to derive additionally an alternative quartic form which allows to apply the quartic-quadratic transformation. Our algorithms are applicable to large-scale unimodular waveform design problems as they are proved to have lower or comparable computational burden (analyzed theoretically) and faster convergence speed (confirmed by comprehensive simulations) than the state-of-the-art algorithms. In addition, the waveforms designed by our algorithms demonstrate better correlation properties compared to their counterparts.
