Waveform-Aware Optimal Window Function Design for Mismatched Filtering

This paper introduces a general framework for waveform-aware optimal window design for mismatch processing. First, the linear relationship between the window function and the output of the mismatch filter, for both frequency and time windowing and a particular waveform, is modeled. Making use of such a relation, typical window constraints are discussed and shown to be amenable for convex optimizat...
