The most widely used radar pulse compression technique is correlation processing using Barker code. This technique enhances detection sensitivity but, unfortunately, suffers from the addition of range sidelobes which sometimes will degrade the performance of radar systems. In this paper, our proposed optimal algorithm eliminates the sidelobes at the cost of additional processing and is evaluated in the presence of Doppler shift. We then propose optimal codes with regard to the proposed algorithm and the performance is compared against the traditional correlation processing with Barker codes. The proposed processing using optimal codes will be shown to be superior over the traditional processing in the presence of Doppler shift.

Range resolution is important performance parameter to distinguish a target accurately. The destination of modern radar systems, to overcome the limitations of existing analog radar systems, is to improve the range resolution of the distance with low transmission power. For that reason, the research on pulse compression techniques is briskly studying. In the Receiver, modulation system of transmitted signal which has used in pulse compression technique is divided PM and FM to distinguish a target. In this paper, We analysed and designed the pulse compression signal processing module using the Baker Code which is the one of PM method's.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for designing the R-G filter that has optimum performance in terms of mean square sidelobe level(MSSL) for the Barker code. The advantage of the conventional R-G filter lies in its simple structure so that it can be easily implemented. However, the conventional R-G filter dose not have optimum performances in terms of peak sidelobe level(PSL), mean sidelobe level(MSL), and MSSL. Recently, a(R-G)LP filter of which filter coefficients are obtained by the linear programming algorithm was proposed and known to have optimum performance in PSL. The proposed (R-G)LS filter keeps the simple structure of the conventional R-G filter and has the filter coefficients that minimizes the sidelobe in the least square sense. The analytic results show that the proposed (R-G)LS filter has better performances than the conventional R-G filter in terms of PSL, MSL, and MSSL. Compared with (R-G)LP filter, the proposed (R-G)LS filter has better performances in terms of MSL and MSSL. The proposed filter design algorithm can be applied to the other binary codes such as truncated pseudonoise(PN) codes and concatenated codes.
