Binary codes for multi-range resolution radars

Abstract

Binary codes for a multi-range-resolution radar are proposed. Inverse filters can be then used for a multi-range resolution radar and compress the proposed codes to different pulse widths. These binary codes are compressed to several sub-pulses, only if a matched filter is applied. We describe that the compressed pulses have very small pulse compression losses and side-lobe amplitudes, even though the binary codes are compressed to the pulse width smaller than the reciprocal of the bandwidth of the codes. This fact is confirmed by computer calculations.
