Abstract :
It is shown by use of D.A. Huffman´s polynomial representation for a finite sequence of contiguous pulses in a pulse train that Barker´s binary-coded sequences can be modified, by a weighting of pulse amplitudes, to a condition where time sidelobes in the pulse compressed signal are substantially reduced. In such a pulse amplitude modification there is a sacrifice in pulse train energy since each pulse does not have maximum energy. Results here are provided for Barker´s sequence of length 13 only.
