Abstract

In this work we have tested the use of atomic functions (AFs) in pulse compression radar applications.The results obtained during the windowing show that by applying AF fup6(x) we can achieve very similar characteristics as in the case of the Hamming function use. The advantage of this AF usage in comparison with Hamming windowing is the lower main lobe width. This can help to, detect sufficiently small targets. For more side-lobe reduction it is convenient to apply AF Fup9(x). This paper has also presented the architecture for radar receiver that can be used in wide radar applications.
