摘要

Monostatic radar, whether using interpulse or intrapulse coded pulse trains, will suffer from the blind zones caused by eclipsing. This letter proposes a novel biphase interpulse coded radar waveform using diverse Pulse Repetition Intervals (PRIs) instead of a consistent PRI within each coherent processing interval (CPI). This waveform can achieve long unambiguous range, high-range resolution and high Doppler resolution without blind zones, and is specially suitable for a monostatic ionosonde.
