A Review of Pulse Compression Signals for Tracking Applications. Volume I.

Abstract

This report reviews pulse compression signals and their applicability to tracking radars. The emphasis is on binary phase coded signals, such as Barker codes and linear maximal length sequences. The properties of complementary sequences are reviewed and techniques for utilizing these sequences in tracking radars are discussed. Linear frequency modulated signals, polyphase codes and signals with simultaneous amplitude and phase modulation are also considered. (Author)
