Use of adaptive filtering techniques and deconvolution to obtain low range sidelobe samples

Abstract

In this paper the use of adaptive filtering techniques to obtain better peak sidelobe suppression and integrated sidelobe energy will be discussed with regard to weather radars and obtaining better sensitivity with this technique. The performance of these new coefficient sets obtained with adaptive filter (using RLS optimization) will be discussed and presented. They will also be compared with the existing techniques and their peak sidelobe levels.
