A microprocessor controlled CCD programmable transversal filter for radar applications

A microprocessor controlled CCD programmable transversal filter has been developed as the pulse compressor to binary phase coded waveforms (with randomly changing binary codes from pulse-to-pulse) for a netted LPI radar system. It is important for defeating monopulse-tracking ARM and permiting non-interference operation between radar units using the same frequency band. It was implemented using CCD analog-binary correlator and a special purpose microcomputer for controllor. A discription of the experimental set-up and the results of test are presented.
