DIGITAL PULSE COMPRESSOR DESIGN FOR ULTRA-LOW RANGE SIDELOBES FOR USE WITHIN THE ECLIPSED REGION

摘要

A novel pulse compression technique is described, which allows extremely low range sidelobes to be maintained within the eclipsed regions of a pulse Doppler radar. The technique allows more efficient use of the radar's time, by allowing data to be recovered from the eclipsed regions, reducing the need for multiple waveforms to provide complete surveillance coverage. Theoretical modelling results are presented.
