Comments on "Discrete Frequency-Coding Waveform Design for Netted Radar Systems"

Abstract

For original paper see H. Deng, ibid., vol.11, no.2, p.179-182, (2004). This comment points out some errors in the correlation calculations and conclusions in the literature. The ambiguity function and cross-ambiguity function for discrete frequency-coding waveform (DFCW) with arbitrary firing order are analyzed in that letter to corroborate the judgement. It shows that range autocorrelation sidelobe peak (ASP) for DFCW fluctuates around 0.21, the Doppler tolerance has sinc function form, while the range cross-correlation peak (CP) between two DFCWs is heavily varied with the different firing order. The correlation values are recalculated.
