Characteristics of 13-order Barker Code Signals with Pulse Compression and Sidelobe Suppression Analysis

Resource Overview

This paper describes the characteristics of 13-order Barker code signals, visualizes their properties through graphical representations, implements pulse compression processing, and compares the performance differences between conventional sidelobe suppression filters and equiripple-designed sidelobe suppression filters using comparative illustrations.

Detailed Documentation

In this paper, we characterize 13-order Barker code signals and visualize their properties through corresponding plots. We implement pulse compression processing to optimize signal performance, which typically involves correlating the received signal with a matched filter template to improve range resolution. For sidelobe suppression analysis, we compare the effectiveness of conventional sidelobe suppression filters with equiripple-designed filters using the Parks-McClellan algorithm, which minimizes the maximum sidelobe level while maintaining mainlobe characteristics. The comparative results are illustrated graphically, demonstrating the performance differences in sidelobe reduction. Through these implementations and analyses, we provide comprehensive insights into 13-order Barker code signal properties and the practical application of different sidelobe suppression filter designs in radar signal processing systems.
