Abstract
In this paper we employ evolutionary algorithms for the selection of optimal pulse repetition frequency (PRF) sets to minimise range-Doppler blindness in a model of a medium PRF radar. Both eight and nine PRF schedules are considered and the algorithm ensures that all the solutions produced are fully decodable and have no blind velocities. We consider the detailed effects of side-lobe clutter and the many technical factors affecting the choice of radar PRF in a medium PRF mode of operation of a practical airborne fire control radar.
