Abstract
In a radar system, pulse compression technique permits us to overcome the trade-off between long and short duration pulses. Long duration pulses are used for good detection, whereas short duration pulses are used for better range resolution. During pulse compression, side-lobes exist with the main-lobe of the matched filter response. These side-lobes are unwanted because small targets might be hidden in the side-lobes which create the problem of accurate detection. When side-lobes are reduced, then main-lobe width is expanded which affects the range resolution. Linear frequency modulated waveforms and different polyphase codes, viz. Frank, P1, P2, P3 and P4 are used to reduce the side-lobes in the pulse compression. In this paper, polyphase codes are observed in pulse compression technique for side-lobe reduction. Ambiguity function is used to observe the polyphase codes behavior for side-lobes and range resolution. Simulation results show that P4 codes are best for side-lobe reduction as well as for better Doppler tolerance. The entire stated method is done with the aid of mathematical equations and simulation verification.
