模糊函数是雷达波形设计的核心,用于表征距离和多普勒分辨率能力。然而其传统公式包含不可微操作,无法与基于梯度的优化方法及现代机器学习框架结合。本文首次提出完整的可微模糊函数数学框架与计算实现。通过维尔廷格微分处理复数梯度、并行化FFT提升效率、保证级联运算数值稳定性,并支持任意可微操作组合。该方法称为GRAF(基于梯度的雷达模糊函数),在保持数学等价性的同时实现梯度流贯穿全流程。所提实现兼容现代自动微分框架,可支持神经网络波形生成、雷达系统端到端优化,以及经典雷达理论与深度学习融合。提供完整实现细节,计算效率满足实际应用需求。本工作为现代机器学习应用于雷达波形设计奠定数学与计算基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The ambiguity function is fundamental to radar waveform design, characterizing range and Doppler resolution capabilities. However, its traditional formulation involves non-differentiable operations, preventing integration with gradient-based optimization methods and modern machine learning frameworks. This paper presents the first complete mathematical framework and computational implementation for differentiable radar ambiguity functions. Our approach addresses the fundamental technical challenges that have prevented the radar community from leveraging automatic differentiation: proper handling of complex-valued gradients using Wirtinger calculus, efficient computation through parallelized FFT operations, numerical stability throughout cascaded operations, and composability with arbitrary differentiable operations. We term this approach GRAF (Gradient-based Radar Ambiguity Functions), which reformulates the ambiguity function computation to maintain mathematical equivalence while enabling gradient flow through the entire pipeline. The resulting implementation provides a general-purpose differentiable ambiguity function compatible with modern automatic differentiation frameworks, enabling new research directions including neural network-based waveform generation with ambiguity constraints, end-to-end optimization of radar systems, and integration of classical radar theory with modern deep learning. We provide complete implementation details and demonstrate computational efficiency suitable for practical applications. This work establishes the mathematical and computational foundation for applying modern machine learning techniques to radar waveform design, bridging classical radar signal processing with automatic differentiation frameworks.
