Popis: It is well known that in the pulse compression radar theory, the sidelobe reduction using nonlinear frequency modulation (NLFM) signal processing represents a major and present research direction. Accordingly, the main objective of this paper is to propose an interesting approach related to the design of e-cient NLFM waveforms namely, a temporal predistortioning method of LFM signals by suitable nonlinear frequency laws. Some aspects concerning the optimization of the speciflc parameters involved into analyzed NLFM processing procedure are also included. The achieved experimental results conflrm the signiflcant sidelobe suppression related to other NLFM processing techniques.
