Abstract
A method for reducing the interference between a source transmitting pulses and equipments having nominal bandwidths which are outside the nominal bandwidth of the transmitted pulses, but which respond to sideband energy of the pulses. Phase perturbations are applied to the edges of the pulses produced by the source, to thereby tend to null the sideband energy lying in the nominal bandwidth of the equipments occupying the adjacent nominal bandwidths.
Claims3
A method of transmitting a radar pulse, comprising the steps of:
- generating a constant-amplitude pulse centered at a center frequency and having an actual bandwidth which includes a selected frequency range;
- applying phase perturbations to said constant-amplitude pulse so as to produce a phase-perturbed constant-amplitude pulse centered at said center frequency with reduced amplitude in said selected frequency range and relatively higher amplitudes above and below said selected frequency range;
- and
- transmitting said phase-perturbed constant-amplitude pulse toward a radar target.
