Agile Electromagnetics Exploiting High Speed Logic (AEEHSL)

This report summarizes the research information that resulted from the program titled Agile Electromagnetic Exploiting High Speed Logic. The key points from this research are: (1) A polarization coded radar was built which performs pulse compression using a polarization code. (2) A Doppler insensitive pulse compression technique was demonstrated. (3) One hundred megahertz digital logic was implemented using conventional construction techniques. (4) Mismatched pulse compression codes were implemented which reduce both the peak and the average range-time sidelobes. and (5) Golay code paris were implemented which yielded zero range-time sidelobes for stationary target radar returns.
