Abstract :
A modulation scheme is described for use with a satellite-borne rain radar, capable of achieving range sidelobes better than -60 dB over the whole of the relevant Doppler domain. Various factors concerning the digital generation and compression of the signal are discussed. It is concluded that adaptive compensation of phase and amplitude errors in the transmitter and receiver is likely to be necessary.
