Abstract
A pulse compression signal processor (10) for a laser radar system which utilizes substantially identical negative slope SAW matched filters (30,44) for compressing both the up and down chirps of a bi-directional echo signal (14). The signal processor (10) receives the echo (14) and splits it into two signals (16, 18) for processing by separate negative slope SAW matched filters (30, 44).
