Synthetic aperture radar achieves fine range resolution thlough pulse complession<br />

tecluriques. This section rvill cliscuss horv pulse complessiol is accorrplishecl.<br />

The peak power of a ladal transrnitter is restricted to a certain level.<br />

The transmittecl enelgy of a given radar can be raised by increasing the<br />

pulselength (Cook ancl Belnfelcl [t9]). The ilc'-easecl pulselength, however',<br />

decleases the lange resolution of the radal'. Thus it is clesilal¡le to laise the<br />

transrnittecl energy by increasing the pulselength ancl simultaneously to keep<br />

a high range resolution capability. To achieve this, a long pulse whose carliel<br />

fi'equency is 1:hase rnodulatecl can be transmitted. On leception, the<br />

pulse rnust be com¡rressed to pelmit separation of adjacent range resolutiol<br />

cells. The pulse cornpression is achieved through rlatchecl filtering (Bernfeld<br />

et al. l9l).<br />
