Multichannel constant envelope orthogonal waveforms using receiver design

An radar apparatus including a first transmitter, a second transmitter, a first receiver, a second receiver, and a control device. The control device is programmed to use both the characteristics of a first transmit signal from the first transmitter and a second transmit signal from the second transmitter to determine a first control signal for applying to the first receiver to determine its impulse response characteristics, and to determine a second control signal for applying to the second receiver to determine its impulse response characteristics which differ from the first receiver. These control signals have the ability to separate out the first transmit signal and the second transmit signal from their combined sum that appears at the input of the receiver. The procedure can be generalized to include any number of transmit signals and a corresponding number of control signals to separate out the transmit signals from their combined form.
