  • Patent number: 8059026
    Abstract: An ultra-wideband pulse Doppler radar employing a transform domain communication system class of output waveform, a waveform additionally modified for enhanced radar usage. The achieved waveform includes sequential radar output pulse discrimination, improved pulse repetition frequency range ambiguity, phase modulation generating a noise-like output signal appearance and improved resolution characteristics. The invention employs radar waveform shaping in the frequency domain according to a sample of present operating band interference conditions followed by transformation into the time domain for fabricating an output pulse waveform. Mathematical basis for the improved output waveform and correlation comparisons in graphical form are included in the disclosure.
