description Phase coding plays an important role in radar systems, affecting signal modulation, target detection, and interference rejection. This study assesses various phase codes, including Gold, Kasami, Barker, Frank, and Chaotic codes, by analyzing performance metrics like cross-correlation and peak-to-sidelobe ratio (PSLR). The study highlights certain limitations, suggesting the need for new waveform solutions. It integrates component-based and Kronecker product-based interpulse coding to combine different codes and improve overall system performance. By merging phase codes effectively, interpulse coding leverages the strengths of individual codes to produce a composite waveform with enhanced autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties, improving radar performance. An optimization problem is formulated using a weighted performance metric to identify the best waveform, considering factors such as cross-correlation and PSLR. The approach, utilizing simple Kronecker and element-wise multiplication techniques, offers significant benefits with minimal complexity. The Barker-Gold interpulse code stands out as highly effective for spread spectrum-based applications due to its favorable correlation properties.
