Detailed Documentation

In this article, we employ a simulation program to generate echo signals from ideal point targets. To achieve pulse compression, we implement a frequency-domain correlation approach that utilizes Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) operations for efficient data processing. The core algorithm involves: 1) Generating reference waveforms through linear frequency modulation (LFM) coding, 2) Applying FFT-based cross-correlation between transmitted and received signals, and 3) Performing inverse FFT to obtain compressed pulses in time domain. This methodology enables superior radar signal processing by improving signal-to-noise ratio and range resolution through matched filter optimization. Key functions include waveform generation with controlled parameters, FFT convolution implementation for O(n log n) complexity, and peak detection algorithms for target localization.
