This means that the net effect of pulse compression is that, compared to the equivalent CW pulse, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has improved by a factor because the signal is amplified but not the noise.

With the help of pulse compression, a relatively long transmission pulse with comparatively low peak power can achieve a better, longer range than the basic radar equation would suggest.

This example shows the effects of pulse compression, where a transmitted pulse is modulated and correlated with the received signal. Pulse compression is used in radar and sonar systems to …

Pulse compression allows a radar to utilize a long pulse to achieve a large radiated energy, but with the range resolution of a short pulse of wide bandwidth. It achieves this by modulating the long pulse of …

short pulse if the long pulse is modulated in frequency or phase These pulse compression techniques allow a radar to simultaneously achieve the energy of a long pulse and the resolution of a short pulse

Linear FM pulse compression waveforms can be processed and generated at low power levels by digital methods, when A / D converters are available with the required bandwidth and number of bits

Jul 21, 2025 · Transmit pulse amplitude and frequency characteristics. Pulse compression can cause several challenges, such as unwanted peaks adjacent to the main return signal, referred to as …

In this chapter, we will analyze analog and digital pulse compression techniques. Two analog pulse compression techniques are discussed in this chapter. The first technique is known as “correlation …

Pulse compression is a technique, which is used widely in radar systems for achieving high range resolution. High range resolution is achieved by modulating the transmitted pulse either in phase or …

Jun 22, 2024 · Today we talk about the idea of pulse compression and the role it plays in target detection. As opposed to a Continuous-Wave (CW) radar, a pulsed radar transmits a short burst of …
