The use of electromagnetic Walsh waves in radar
Abstract
The question of the suitability of Walsh functions or similar bi-valued functions used as a radar electromagnetic carrier waveform is considered. Walsh functions are described, and effective sinusoidal steady state transfer functions are defined for transmission elements, antenna systems, and propagation media. The conclusion obtained is that radar system elements and the radar propagation medium are compatible to the use of Walsh functions as the functional form of the electromagnetic carrier wave if sound judgement is used.
