MCPC Radar Signal with Good Correlation Properties
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Electronics and Communication Engineering
Abstract
Radar systems are becoming significant for range detection, target identification, and resolution augmentation. Traditional radar signals high side lobe levels and limited Doppler tolerance reduce detection accuracy in complex environments. Staggered Multi-Carrier Phase-Coded (MCPC) pulse trains are used for to overcome these challenges and improve radar signal performance. A Multi-Carrier Phase Coded (MCPC) signals in radar systems can be used to improve correlation properties. The staggered MPMC signal can reduce range-Doppler coupling and improves target resolution by ensuring frequency variation. Unpredictability, spectrum dispersion, and correlation are enhanced by adaptive sequence ordering and random permutations. Multi-carrier systems, polyphase coding, and signal staggering will enable present radar systems meet dynamic operating requirements for performance, flexibility, and longevity. Autocorrelation, spectrum analysis, ambiguity function, and periodic ambiguity function are simulated in MATLAB.
