Abstract: Systems and methods for avoidance of partial pulse interference in radar. The systems and methods include a radar processor for generating control signals that direct the generation and transmission of two consecutive radar pulses using a waveform and pulse train generator and transmitter. The systems and methods also include receiving reflected echoes corresponding to the transmitted pulses using a receiver and processing the echoes using an analog to digital converter, filter, and digital signal processor to separate echoes from each pulse, process them, and combine the results to avoid partial pulse interference while maintaining pulse energy and an acceptable signal to noise ratio.

Abstract: Resolution of a radar operating within a bandwidth is improved by defining a quantity of substantially rectangular sub-band filters to subdivide the bandwidth in the frequency domain into the quantity of sequential sub-bands having a sub-bandwidth. Each signal sent by the radar is associated with a transmission temporal moment. Each of the quantity of return signals received is routed in one to one correspondence to the sub-band filters, each signal being received at a corresponding sub-band filter. The return signals received are summed by synchronizing the associated transmission temporal moment to produce a reconstructed return signal.
