Minimal Compression of a Radio-Frequency Pulse

Signal Processing 2021-10-20 v1

Abstract

Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and a complementary representation of a causal waveform have been used to develop a sidelobe-free pulse-compression technique. Envelopes of radio-frequency (RF) pulses under study include both unimodal (Laplacian, Gaussian, rectangular) and bimodal (Hermite-Gaussian) shapes. Although the achievable compression gain is small (~2), the generation and phase-invariant correlation processing of such created compressible pulses can be accomplished with the use of low-complexity systems.
