Abstract

Based on the zero correlation zone (ZCZ) concept, we present the definition and properties of a set of new triphase coded waveforms -ZCZ sequence-pair set (ZCZPS) in this paper and propose a method to use the optimized punctured sequence-pair along with Hadamard matrix construct the optimized punctured ZCZ sequence-pair set (optimized punctured ZCZPS). According to property analysis under the Doppler shift condition, the optimized punctured ZCZPS has good autocorrelation and cross correlation properties when Doppler shift is not large. We apply it to radar target detection. The simulation results show that optimized punctured ZCZ sequence-pairs (optimized punctured ZCZPs) outperform other conventional pulse compression codes, such as the well known polyphase code-P4 code.
