  • Abstract
    The authors investigate the performance of PN (pseudonoise) codes and complementary codes in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) environment from a detection standpoint, and they provide a comparison of the performance of these two coding methods in a pulsed radar context. A general method of choosing a cost function is proposed to compare the two coding schemes. Simulation results are presented which demonstrate that, for the AWGN channel model used, the complementary coded signals can provide improved performance over PN coded signals in practical pulsed radar systems
