Abstract: Pulse compression techniques are used to avail the benefits of improving detection capability with long pulse widths and at high range resolutions in Radar systems. The Pulse compression technique plays a very important role while designing a radar system. Short pulses are essential to get the advantage of high range resolution but to achieve the better SNR, the radar systems requires high pulse widths. In order to have trade-off between SNR and range resolution pulse compression is inevitable. Pulse compression techniques were implemented to reduce the range side lobes using various coding techniques like Binary phase coding (Barker codes) and Complementary codes etc. The “Matlab†is used as a software.
