Digital pulse compressor design for ultra-low range sidelobes for use within the eclipsed region

A novel pulse compression technique is described, which allows extremely low range sidelobes to be maintained within the eclipsed regions of a pulse Doppler radar. The technique allows more efficient use of the radar´s time, by allowing data to be recovered from the eclipsed regions, reducing the need for multiple waveforms to provide complete surveillance coverage. Theoretical modelling results are presented.
