coherent integration in radar systems...
they will uses intrapulse modulations to encode the pulse. thus effectively reducing the range resolution. when doing this they perform several repetitions for modulo-2 addition.
if the signal is encoded w/ a barker code, each step will result in alternating 1s & 0s. then all 1 & 0 pair cancel out giving a high spectral power in the center.
pulse encoded w/ 1011
1 s 0100 (1+0 = 0 ; 0+0 =1; 1+1 = 1 ==> all 0s down center = 4)
1 ss 0100 (S's are place holders)
0 ssss1011
1 sssss0100
-----------------
1014101 (symetry indicates barker coding)
Source(s):
the code should be offset, but system won't preserve my spacing. 1st columb 1101 is inverted coding sequence. all other columbs are the resultant bit sequence. each stage should be delayed one space.
