Principles of Spread Spectrum Radar

This paper presents a general class of ranging waveforms which utilize a code sequence as a means of achieving high range/Doppler resolution and good self clutter performance. The generalized waveform is defined and the primary analysis tools are developed. The concept of a random ambiguity function is introduced. System processing architectures and code waveform design guidelines are developed. Examples point out the effectiveness of this technique in a high clutter environment.
