ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method of synthesizing a replica used in the compression filter of pulse compression radar.
The replica is calculated from the spectrum of a required impulse response.
The required impulse response is preferably obtained from an analytical function, such as a sinc function or a weighted sinc function, and a template.
It is preferable to use calibration signals of the instrument to calculate the replica.
The invention also applies to synthetic aperture radar.
