  • Description:
    In this paper, a novel technique is proposed to mitigate the so-called blind range on radars that use pulse compression. It is well known that the blind range is caused by the strong leak through into the receiver during the transmission cycle. The proposed technique is called progressive pulse compression (PPC) and is based on partial decoding. PPC uses a portion of the uncontaminated received signal in conjunction with pulse compression to estimate the echoes from the incomplete signal. The technique does not require the use of a fill pulse or any hardware modifications. PPC can be divided into three steps. The first step is to discard all the received signals during the transmit cycle and apply a smooth taper for continuous transition from zero to one. The second step is to perform the pulse compression using matched filter. The combination of these two steps is equivalent to performing pulse compression using a progressively changing template to partially extract the uncontaminated received signal for compression. The third step is to compensate for the progressively changing template so that proper reflectivity values can be recovered. This technique has been tested on the PX-1000 and will be implemented on PX-10k in the near future. These two radars are designed and operated by the Advanced Radar Research Center at the University of Oklahoma and are both X-band software-defined solid-state systems. The results presented in this paper are collected using the PX-1000 radar.
