Abstract:

The report presents the results of an investigation of the effects of frequency weighting the compressed linear-FM spectra in an attempt to suppress or redistribute the side-lobe clutter which result from the matched filtering process. Most importantly, the rectangular linear-FM spectra approximation is deferred and the exact Fresnel spectra are used in the computations. Author
