Optimal Processing in Noise Radar: Implementation Problems

In continuous emission bistatic radar, as in the case of Noise Radar and/or Passive Radar, a large amount of data beyond the maximum range and the maximum Doppler velocity of interest can be used in the evaluation of the cross ambiguity function to guarantee a high processing gain. This work analyses a novel optimal algorithm, named Range Filter Bank (RFB), aimed to compute the ambiguity function in the delay and Doppler interval of interest, avoiding any unnecessary processing load.
