To maintain matched filtering, the weight should be split between the transmitter and receiver
Yet a linear power amplifier is required

Frequency-modulated pulsesFrequency-modulated pulses Previously discussed LFM
The volume of AF concentrates in a slowly decaying diagonal ridge
An advantage when Doppler resolution is not expected from a single pulse
Relatively high autocorrelation sidelobe
Other frequency-modulation schemes Better Doppler resolution Lower autocorrelation sidelobes

The AF can be predicted roughly by overlaying a copy of this binary matrix and shifting it to some (delay, Doppler).
A coincidence of N points indicates a peak of N/M

The number of coinciding dots cannot be larger than one for all but the zero-shift case.
A narrow peak at the origin and low sidelobes elsewhere

If all elements in a row of the difference matrix are different from each other, the signal is Costas.

Construction of Costas codeConstruction of Costas code Welch 1 (Golomb & Taylor, 1984)
Applicable for M = p – 1 where p can be any prime number larger than 2.
Let α be a primitive element in GF(p) Numbering the columns of the array j = 0,1,...,p-2
and the rows i = 1,2,...,p-1. Then we put a dot in position (i, j) if and only if i = αj

Nonlinear Frequency ModulationNonlinear Frequency Modulation Stationary-phase concept
The energy spectral density at a certain frequency is relatively large if the rate of the change of this frequency is relatively small
Design the phase (frequency) to fit a good spectrum
