  4. Abstract:
  5. In a coherent pulse Doppler radar, ambiguity can occur in both range and radial velocity measurements. PRF staggering has been considered as one of the most effective ways by which these consequential blind speeds can be eliminated. As it stands the optimization of such staggering has not been convincingly provided in a clear format in past studies. In this article previously reported techniques have been studied and also a comprehensive simulation tool which provides interesting results based on different techniques is developed. Furthermore a comparison of various common staggering methods has been given and a cost function has been proposed to describe a figure of merit for each of the concepts. In the end a practical system has been analyzed and comparative improvements have been cited on choosing the optimized method and values. © 2005 IEEE
