Pseudorandom amplitude-phase-shift keyed signals with irregular bi-level amplitude spectrum for moving target detection

This paper considers the target locating against the clutter background in radars with quasi-continuous mode of transmission and reception on common aerial of signals with pseudorandom amplitude- and phase-shift keying. Pseudorandom amplitude-phase-shift keyed signals with irregular bi-level amplitude spectrum are proposed for use. The high-level spectrum components of returns from the moving and stationary targets can be partially overlapped. It is proposed to perform the frequency rejection of high-level components of the stationary targets before the correlation signal processing. As a result, significant part of the energy of interfering reflections is cut out and just a small part of the energy of the useful signal is lost. The signal-to-clutter ratio increases. The synthesis method of pseudorandom amplitude-phase-shift keyed signal with irregular bi-level amplitude spectrum is considered. The spectrum of the synthesized signals is analyzed. Increase of the signal-to-clutter ratio was obtained in the processing of signals with frequency interference rejection. The result of detection modeling of a moving target against the background of reflections from a stationary object is presented.
