Overview

Radar Waveforms: Advanced Modulations

Course Description

Gain an in depth understanding of pulse compression waveforms to include both frequency and phase modulations. This course examines stretch processing applied to linear frequency modulated waveforms (LFM), non-linear frequency modulated waveforms (NLFM), stepped frequency and stepped chirp waveforms, and both bi-phase and poly-phase coded waveforms. Learners will examine waveform properties using graphics, equations, demonstrations, and an interactive software tool.
