From: A frequency-sharing weather radar network system using pulse compression and sidelobe suppression

c

Speed of light

Δ τ

Sub-pulse duration time

g n,1 (n≠1)

Reflection channel for interference from Radar-n to Radar-1

\(\boldsymbol h_{1}^{(k)}\)

Reflection channel for backscattering of k-th pulse of

 

Radar-1

K

(autocorrelation if n 1=n 2; otherwise, cross-correlation)

s n
