Performance evaluation of figures of merit for range resolution radar

For range resolution radar, the usual measure of goodness is obtained from discrimination and merit factor. In addition, the measure of goodness is also expressed with figures of merit, which was proposed earlier. Due to additive noise, it is possible that the transmitted and received signals may not be the same. The return signal is assigned to equivalence classes based on the notion of Hamming distance. The figures of merit are defined in terms of appropriate cross correlation properties averaged over the neighbourhood of the transmitted sequence. For some binary and ternary sequences, the figures of merit are tabulated. They indicate the performance of the deterioration rate, as the medium gets noisier. Here in this paper, the figures of merit are calculated up to four noise levels and the deterioration performance is evaluated.
