Abstract

A new binary frequency-shift keying (BFSK) waveform is suggested for continuous wave radar. It provides ideal periodic autocorrelation (PAC) when processed by a matched filter, and perfect periodic cross-correlation (PCC) when processed by a mismatched filter. Ideal PAC implies a uniform sidelobe level, whose ratio to the PAC peak is equal to the inverse of the code length. Perfect PCC implies zero sidelobes. BFSK is relatively spectrum efficient. Design details and processing issues are discussed.
