Radar Waveform Design with Different Radar Environments

Radar waveform design using binary codes is a technique that involves using binary sequences to generate radar pulses with specific characteristics. It has garnered significant interest in the radar community due to its ability to improve radar performance, particularly in terms of range, resolution, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this thesis design radar waveform by using Barker codes of 13 bits’ lengths and employing constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm, radar systems can enhance their performance in terms of target detection and rejection of false alarms caused by clutter or background noise. The shape of the radar signal being transmitted plays a crucial role in detecting objects using radar. By enhancing the signal shape, radar detection can be improved. In this thesis, CFAR algorithm is used with a Barker code of 13-bits length. The results show the enhancement in the radar detection with different clutter environments compared with the signal without Barker code.
