Chaotic signals in radar?

Chaotic signals add to the design repertoire for radar. This paper discusses the properties of chaotic signals, their generation and use, including transmitter hardware and efficiency, with reference to results in communications research and recent theoretical and practical results in sonar, and development throughout the world for radar. Practical issues arising from the unique properties of chaotic systems are considered. Phase locking and target identification benefits are also suggested. Results of sonar experiments and trials to support prediction from simulation findings are given. It is concluded that chaotic signals have the potential to offer exciting additional capabilities
