New Non-Linear Fm Pulse-Compression Technique For Radar Applications, Ronald A. Booher
New Non-Linear Fm Pulse-Compression Technique For Radar Applications, Ronald A. Booher
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The development of pulsed type radar signals is examined, with a brief review of matched filtering. Gated RF, linear and non-linear FM pulse-compression (chirp) and matched filtering of radar signals is reviewed in depth. Emphasis is given to identifying the desirable characteristics of each method. A new method of non-linear FM pulse-compression is introduced; it utilizes the Eigen Function (a form of the raised-cosine family) of functions) as its modulating term. Its properties are then compared to those of the linear and non-linear systems reviewed in the preceding sections. Design considerations for implementation on a surface acoustic wave device are …
Radar: Theory And Insight, Terry A. Dougherty
Radar: Theory And Insight, Terry A. Dougherty
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Radar principles and design considerations are reviewed, using both analytical and heuristic methods. Emphasis is placed on achieving physical insight while maintaining technical rigor. Waveform properties and signal detectability maximization through matched filtering is discussed in detail. The Moving Target Indicator radar system is presented as an illustration of digital signal processing technology applied to modern radar systems.
