Thus third target hasstarted appearing as the distance will increase further the targetwill be clearly separate.Figure 10 shows the compressed output with the sufficient distancebetween three targets. Thus targets are easily detectable.In LFM, the frequency is swept linearly across thepulse width, either upward (up-chirp) or downward(down-chirp). Increase in frequency from T = 0 to T = ôis known as up – chirp and decrease in frequency from T= 0to T = ô is known as down chirp. LFM isimplemented using Matlab. From the simulations it isclear that prior to compression the targets are notseparated in time domain. After compression the targetsare easily detectable. Moreover the targets are notdistinguished if the distance between them is kept lessthan the range resolution. As the distance increase thenthe range resolution between the targets, the targets getseparated in time domain and are easily detectable. Alsoto reduce the side lobe noise different windows wereused at the output of the match filter. Output using nowindow, Hamming window, Kaiser window andChebychev window was implemented. When no windowwas used the side lobe noise was observed in the output.IV. BARKER CODEBarker codes are one of the binary phase codes thatproduce compressed waveforms with constant side lobelevels equal to unity. A Barker code of length is denotedas BN. There are only seven known Barker codes namelyB2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B11 & B13. In this paper Barkercode length 7 has been implemented in matlabR2008a.Optimal binary sequences are those whoseautocorrelation peak sidelobe is the minimum possiblefor a given code length. A special class of binary codes isknown as Barker codes. The benefit is that autocorrelating or match filtering for these codes gives a mainlobe peak of N and a minimum peak sidelobe of 1, whereN is the number of sub pulses (length of the code). Onlya small number of these codes exist. Table 1 lists allknown Barker codes and those having a minimum peaksidelobe of 1. Ideally, these codes could be used for pulsecompression radars if longer lengths existed. However,the longest known Barker codes are of length 13, so pulsecompression radar using these Barker codes would belimited to a maximum compression ratio of 13 [5][6][7].Table 1:Barker
