Detection of nonzero doppler targets using complementary waveforms in reed-muller sequences

Abstract

Reed-Muller codes were used in radar signal processing to determine the sequence transmitting order of Golay complementary waveforms for radar illumination to get an improved detection performance on atargetofnonzero Doppler. In this paper, we consider the detection case where multiple targets with nonzero Doppler are present. We propose a signal processing procedure which achieves an enhanced illumination performance by applying the combination of the Reed-Muller codes and the Binominal Design to the Golay omplementary waveform transmission sequences. The procedure consists of two processes. A Reed-Muller sequence is selected according to a weighted average Doppler algorithm. In the meantim..
