Abstract :
Range sidelobes, a major shortcoming of radar pulse compression, are often reduced through the use of mismatched filters. The authors propose to blank the remaining sidelobes by using two or more mismatched filters, whose sidelobes are designed to peak at different delays. The authors show how to design such filters and present promising simulation results with two or more mismatched filters.
