Abstract

Modern radars require signals of the large frequency range to attain relatively greater range resolution. Frequency stepping is the technique to convert the narrowband signal, i.e., a train of pulses into a wideband signal to achieve high accuracy in range resolution measurements. Due to the cause of constant step in frequency of successive pulses, grating lobes appeared when the period of pulse multiplied by step in frequency exceeds unity as is needed in modern radars. Hence to achieve the best resolution, grating lobes height, sidelobes level, and mainlobe width have to be minimum. In this paper an attempt has been made to diminish grating lobes, minimize sidelobes and reduce mainlobe width using MOIDSA to find the parameters of Stepped Frequency Pulse Train (SFPT) mechanism. The compromise between various lobes is obtained by using three dimensional Pareto fronts for different ranges of SFPT parameters.
