Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9742520A1] A method and apparatus for preventing the occurence of range ambiguities and Doppler ambiguities in both a radar and sonar environment. A series of N pulses are produced, each of which contains a number of contagious subpulses. Each of the subpulses exhibits a different frequency than the remaining subpulses in that particular pulse. Furthermore, the order of appearance of the subpulses in each of the pulses is unique with respect to the remaining pulses in the series. A matched filter receiver (10) and Doppler processor (30) are used to provide auto correlations and cross correlations (R1-RN) to prevent the range ambiguities and Doppler ambiguities.
