Compression with considerable sidelobe suppression effect in weather radar
Pulse compression is a classical topic. Because of its function in resolution enhancement, pulse compression technology has been applied in many kinds of radar such as pulse Doppler weather radar. In pulse compression, sidelobe suppression plays a key role for reducing clutter. In this article, a combination of two sidelobe suppression techniques for pulse compression is proposed. Simulation results show that the combination of the two techniques has better sidelobe suppression effectiveness.
