The goal of this thesis study is to investigate the Ambiguity Function Technique for
target detection in phase-coded continuous wave radar. Also, phase shift keying
techniques are examined in detail.
Continuous Wave (CW) Radars, which are also known as Low Probability of
Intercept (LPI) radars, emit continuous signals in time which are modulated by
either frequency modulation or phase modulation techniques. Modulation of the
transmitted radar signal is needed to estimate both the range and the radial velocity
of the detected targets. In this thesis, Phase Shift Keying (PSK) techniques such as
the Barker codes, Frank codes, P1, P2, P3, P4 codes will be employed for radar
signal modulation. The use of Ambiguity Function, which is a non-linear Time-
Frequency Representation (TFR), for target detection will be investigated in phasecoded
CW radars for different target scenarios.
