Ambiguity Function - Discrete Coded Waveforms

The concepts of resolution and ambiguity were introduced in Chapter 4. The relationship between the waveform resolution (range and Doppler) and its corresponding ambiguity function was discussed and analyzed. It was determined that the goodness of a given waveform is based on its range and Doppler resolutions, which can be analyzed in the context of the ambiguity function. For this purpose, a few common analog radar waveforms were analyzed in Chapter 5. In this chapter, another type of radar waveform based on discrete codes is analyzed. This topic has been and continues to be a major research thrust area for many radar scientists, designers, and engineers. Discrete coded waveforms are more ...
