This paper focuses on the use of phase coded waveforms for radar. The authors present tradeoffs between types of codes, matched and mismatched filters, loss in signal-to-noise ratio, time sidelobe levels, and Doppler intolerance. A multiple hypothesis approach is introduced for countering Doppler intolerance and a frequency stepped waveform is presented for use in applications requiring large pulse compression gain.
