Abstract

Language:

Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar propagation with a short pulse duration lacks the capability of long range detection of targets. Thus, pulse compression techniques can be used in the system to provide the benefits of large range detection capability of long duration pulse and high range resolution capability of short duration pulse especially for solid state radar transmitter with low peak power. In these techniques, a long duration pulse is used which is phase modulated before transmission and the received signal is passed through a matched filter to compress the energy into a short pulse in other to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this work, pulse compression matched filter model was developed in which the output is the autocorrelation function (ACF) of a modulated signal associated with range side lobes along with the main lobe which is used to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio as shown in the simulation result using MATLAB software. With the implementation of this model, radar system in Port Harcourt can be made to detect targets beyond 256nm.
