Doppler compensation method for the complementary phase-coded signal

The Doppler sensitivity issue is an urgent problem to be solved for the phase-coded radar although it can give the promise of improved range resolution and resistance against various kinds of distortion. Due to the ideal autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties, the complementary sequence is utilised in high-frequency surface wave radar and MIMO radar. However, the Doppler frequency shift affects the autocorrelation property of the complementary sequence. This study aims to solve this problem. Based on the signal model and mathematical derivation, a new algorithm is proposed and the simulation results indicate the effectiveness of this method. This study also puts forward the signal processing diagram and the method to obtain the new code.
