Doppler Compensation by using of Segmented Match Filter

Match filter is one of the important parts of radar receiver. By using of Match Filter, the signal to noise ratio can be maximized so that the probability of detection is increased. Match Filter can be used as a pulse compression filter in radar receiver. Binary phase code is one of the pulse compression methods that, the compression can be down with a Match Filter in the receiver. Doppler effect is one of the problems that degrade the performance of Match Filter. In this paper, two methods “Mixer Array” and “Segmented Match Filter” are proposed for Doppler compensation. The operation of these two methods as Doppler compensation techniques are considered theoretically. The simulation is used to demonstrate the Doppler compensation performance of new techniques compared to conventional methods.
