Abstract

In this paper, we present new developed ternary code - punctured binary sequence-pair, give its definitions and the autocorrelation properties. We also investigate Doppler shift performance of the proposed code. The significant advantages of this ternary codes over conventional pulse compression codes, such as the widely used Barker codes, are zero autocorrelation sidelobes and the longer length of the code which can be as long as 31 so far. We apply our new ternary codes to radar system for target detection and observe that our codes outperform some other conventional pulse compression codes.
