Abstract
The realization of a rectangular pulse-compression waveform having low time sidelobes and zero mismatch loss due to spectral weighting is discussed. The theoretical aspects of the design of such a waveform are presented with particular reference to frequency modulated, rectangular pulses. The design and performance of a matched-filter pulse-compression system having essentially zero mismatch loss are presented. The system discussed has a time-bandwidth product of 22 and time sidelobes suppressed at least 27 dB; the measured mismatch loss is 0.1 dB. The difficulty of achieving the required nonlinear time delay dispersion is overcome by synthesizing the dispersive network as a cascade of all-pass networks.Keywords
