Generation of pseudo-random sequences for noise radar applications

Noise Radar Technology (NRT) is nowadays a promising tool in radar systems. It is based on the transmission of waveforms composed of many noisy samples, which behave as LPI (Low Probability of Intercept) and antispoofing signals. Each noisy sequence is theoretically uncorrelated with the others. In the paper we propose a scheme to generate a “tailored” pseudo-random sequences (limited in amplitude). It will be followed by an analysis of the main performances in terms of the Peak Side Lobe Ratio (PSLR) of the autocorrelation function, cross-correlation analysis to evaluate the orthogonality, bandwidth and energy efficiency.
