The slow-time coded waveform is usually chosen for the automotive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars. The two types of slow-time coded waveforms, i.e., Doppler division multiple access (DDMA) and code di-vision multiple access (CDMA) suffer from Doppler am-biguity and high side lobes respectively. In this paper, we propose a Doppler-coded joint division multiple access orthogonal waveform for automotive MIMO radars. The proposed waveform adopts less coding sequences, which leads to lower sidelobes than the conventional CDMA waveform. Meanwhile, by using unequal intervals for Doppler division, the proposed waveform can greatly extend the maximum unambiguous velocity compared with the conventional DDMA waveform. A signal pro-cessing framework is established to correctly separate orthogonal signals. Both simulations and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed waveform.
