Abstract :
Pulse compression radar systems make use of transmit code sequences and receive filters that are specially designed to achieve good range resolution and target detection capability at practically acceptable transmit peak power levels. The present paper is a contribution to the literature on the problem of designing transmit codes and receive filters for radar. In a nutshell: the main goal of this paper, which considers the cases of both negligible and non-negligible Doppler shifts, is to show how to design the receive filter (including its length) and the transmit code sequence via the optimization of a number of relevant metrics considered separately or in combination. The paper also contains several numerical studies whose aim is to illustrate the performance of the proposed designs.
