Abstract
A simple, easy to implement technique is presented that can significantly reduce the range-time-sidelobes of a class of polyphase pulse compression codes. This technique reduces the highest sidelobes to only one code element magnitude independent of effective pulse compression ratio. The codes considered are polyphase codes that are derived from the step-approximation-to-linear-frequency-modulation and linear-frequency-modulation waveforms such as the P1, P3, P4, and the Frank codes. The characteristics of these codes that make this possible are explained
