Claim Text:
1. A pulse compression system, the system comprising: an antenna configured to produce a first analog signal for transmission toward a target, the antenna configured to receive a second analog signal reflected from the target and convert the second analog signal into a digital received signal, wherein the antenna comprises an impulse response that represents characteristics of the antenna; a signal generator coupled to an input of the antenna, the signal generator configured to generate an initial signal based on the impulse response of the antenna, wherein the signal generator receives an indication of the impulse response of the antenna from the antenna, and wherein the signal generator generates the initial signal in a manner that reduces noise introduced by the antenna into the digital received signal when the antenna converts the second analog signal into the digital received signal from a first level to a second level that is lower than the first level; a data processing engine coupled to the antenna, the data processing engine configured to receive the digital received signal from the antenna, the data processing engine further configured to correlate the digital received signal with the initial signal; and an image generator configured to generate an image based on the correlation of the digital received signal with the initial signal.
