Abstract
Low Probability of Intercept(LPI) periodic sequences with low
autocorrelation sidelobes are desired in many application, especially in
LPI radar systems. In this letter, we propose an algorithm to design LPI
periodic sequences that counteract cyclic spectrum analysis while
maintaining low autocorrelation sidelobe characteristics. We begin by
simplifying the weighted cyclic frequency sidelobe (WCFS) level into a
quadratic form, and then minimize the WCFS level to better approximate
the cyclic spectrum of Gaussian white noise. To ensure the accuracy and
detection capability of the solution, we introduce a Peak-to-Average
Power Ratio (PAPR) condition for the power spectrum, which is
subsequently transformed into a frequency constraint. Finally,
leveraging the cyclic algorithm(CA), we introduce a monotonic WCFS
minimization algorithm to address the aforementioned optimization
problem. The simulation results presented in this letter demonstrate the
correctness and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
