Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing cyclic losses due to doppler shifting frequency-derived phase coded expanded radar pulses using new expanded pulse codes which increase the number of phase elements without increasing compression ratios. These new expanded codes may be generated by sampling the phase characteristics of a chirp or step-chirp waveform above the Nyquist rate to derive the phases of the new coded waveforms and compressing the new expanded pulses with a compression ratio equal to the reciprocal of the signal bandwidth.
