Huffman-Coded Pulse Compression Waveforms

Abstract

Radar pulse compression waveforms usually consist of constant amplitude signals whose phase or frequency is varied to obtain the desired bandwidth and sidelobe levels. However, with Huffman-coded waveforms, both the amplitude and phase vary from subpulse to subpulse. These codes are investigated in detail and compared in performance with other pulse compression waveforms. Keywords include: Pulse compression; Match filter; and Low sidelobes.
