How to resolve this error regarding pulsed waveform library?

4 views (last 30 days)
I am simulating radar resturns from sea surfaces. For this i am using chaotic signal but since chaotic code is not included in phased array toolbox so i use pulse waveform library to include in it but still it gives me error. Guide me how to resolve it. May be there is another implementation method. Please have a look. It should work correctly since it has worked for other applications.
Error using radarTransceiver
Expected Waveform to be one of these types:
phased.internal.AbstractPulseWaveform, phased.FMCWWaveform, phased.MFSKWaveform
Instead its type was pulseWaveformLibrary.

The radarTransceiver feature does not support pulsedWaveformLibrary inputs. Documented accepted waveform types are as follows:
