Abstract
P4 polyphase code is well known in microwave pulse compression technique. There are different reduction techniques to reduce the sidelobes of P4 code. This paper presents a new sidelobe reduction technique which its results are excellent. To valid our work, other sidelobe reduction techniques such as Woo filter and modified forms of Woo filter are investigated and compared with the technique presented in this paper. Results show that the method introduced in this paper produces better peak side lobe ratio (PSL) and integrated side lobe ratio (ISL) than other solutions.
