Synthesis and evaluation of phase codes for pulse compression radar
Abstract
The synthesis of pulse compression radar signals is examined. A family of waveforms suitable for digital compression is identified in digital (or discrete) chirp. Such a code, obtained through sampling and quantization of known chirp waveforms, has attractive features such as relative insentitivity to frequency shift and low sidelobes. Within the digital pulse compression technique, with compression ratio higher than a few tens, digital chirp codes perform better than other codes.
