Abstract

A K × L ternary array, comprised of the elements {0, 1, -1}, with some unique features, represents a multicarrier radar signal with favorable autocorrelation and ambiguity functions. Constructing such an array using Galois fields is described. As in a Costas binary array, only one frequency is transmitted at any time slot, but in our array the same frequency is repeated in several time slots, yielding a signal with considerably larger pulse compression than a Costas signal that uses the same number of frequencies.
