Aspects of Multistatic Adaptive Pulse Compression
Abstract
It is well known that two or more radars operating in close proximity, at the same time, and in the same spectrum can severely interfere with one another despite the use of low cross-correlation waveforms. Recently, an approach was proposed called Multistatic Adaptive Pulse Compression (MAPC) based on a Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) formulation which has been shown to suppress both range sidelobes and cross-correlation ambiguities to the level of the noise. This paper examines the performance of the MAPC approach under the effects of Doppler mismatch. It is demonstrated that for relatively high Doppler the MAPC approach experiences some Doppler-induced sidelobes around large targets yet is still substantially superior to the standard matched filter.
