1. A radar system comprising:
a signal generator comprising:
a waveform optimization module operative to:
identify a plurality of operational limits defining a plurality of limits of a detection operation, imaging operation, or some combination thereof, the plurality of operational limits being associated with a plurality of operational values of operational parameters;
identify radar waveform parameters to optimize;
determine a plurality of optimal values for the radar waveform parameters based on the plurality of operational values associated with the plurality of operational limits;
a modulation generation module operative to generate a plurality of optimized radar signals using the plurality of optimal values of the radar waveform parameters, wherein the plurality of optimized radar signals are optimized for each of the plurality of operational limits; and
one or more antennas coupled to the signal generator, the one or more antennas operative to transmit the plurality of optimized radar signals toward a target in a target area.
