RADAR GOLAY CODES FOR REDUCTION OF RANGE SIDELOBES AND INTERFERENCE

摘要

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for determining, at a radar device, range and Doppler velocity based on reduced Doppler-induced radar range sidelobes, including generating code sequence pairs such that a sum of autocorrelations of each code sequence pair has substantially no sidelobes, transmitting a plurality of pulses in an emitted burst, where each pulse of the emitted burst comprises a code sequence pair different from at least one other pulse of the burst such that the autocorrelation sum of the code sequence pairs of the two different pulses has sidelobes, receiving pulses in a reflected burst, each pulse a reflected copy of a corresponding pulse of the emitted burst, generating an autocorrelation sum for each reflected pulse with its corresponding emitted pulse, and determining range and Doppler velocity based on autocorrelation sums, where the sidelobes autocorrelation sums combine incoherently at reduced power.
