Abstract

To achieve good range response pulse radars transmit modulated or coded waveforms with good aperiodic autocorrelation function (ACF) and use a matched filter (MF) receiver. Range sidelobe (SL) can be considerably lowered by using a mismatched-filter (MMF), designed to minimize the integrated or peak SL. Low SL prevent masking weak neighboring targets and reduce the contribution from surrounding clutter. This paper suggests a different approach to SL reduction. It is based on designing a Modified MMF (MMMF) in which the near SL of the cross-correlation function (CCF) are given higher weight in the minimization process and are therefore more drastically reduced. A combination of the MMMF and a standard MF can create a SL-free response.
