Abstract :
The Matched Filter Binary Integrator (MFBI) is introduced as a simple circuit to improve range resolution in sonar applications. Equations giving the probabilities of detection and of false-alarm are derived for the MFBI, and the set of sequences that result in optimal MFBI performance are determined. The characteristics and properties of these sequences are described. The use of error-correcting codes for sequence generation is investigated.
