ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on the use of phase coded waveforms for radar. The
authors present tradeoffs between types of codes, matched and mismatched
filters, loss in signal-to-noise ratio, time sidelobe levels, and Doppler
intolerance. A multiple hypothesis approach is introduced for countering
Doppler intolerance and a frequency stepped waveform is presented for
use in applications requiring large pulse compression gain.
