From: Zhi.Shen on 19 May 2010 22:54 Hi, I have found a paper to descript the "integrated side-lobe level" exactly. http://ams.confex.com/ams/pdfpapers/123417.pdf ISL's(integrated side-lobe level) definition is also appeared in some others' book, such as Hamish Meikle's book: "Modern radar systems", page 316 http://books.google.com.hk/books?id=mGSE_tmA_HQC&pg=PA316&lpg=PA316&dq=%22integrated+sidelobe+level%22&source=bl&ots=sO1Ej2YtcI&sig=OKqTRf81j4ak5iL8X3ITCo4DqkE&hl=zh-CN&ei=GaD0S7DJB8qOkQXPytzACA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBwQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=%22integrated%20sidelobe%20level%22&f=false --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

I tried examining the Amazon English version of the book but was unable to learn anything about "integrated side-lobe level". Capt. Convolution

Convolution Have you tried intrgrated sidelobe level on Google? Try equation 1 in: Phase Coded Waveforms for Radar www.mitre.org/work/tech_papers/tech_papers.../05_0112.pdf Try equation 2 in: HIGH RESOLUTION WEATHER RADAR THROUGH PULSE COMPRESSION ams.confex.com/ams/pdfpapers/134127.pdf Try equation 3 in: Simulation and Analysis of Pulse Compression for Weather Radars ... www.radar.colostate.edu/publications/chandra/00519643.pdf If you get around to actually trying a calculation, let us know. Tell us what you have done, why and what, if any, questions remain. Dale B. Dalrymple

Sidelobes don't occur in the impulse response of a system, but in the Fourier transform or discrete Fourier transform of the impulse response. Many kinds of systems have impulse responses, including filters. And filters are taught because they can usefully represent many systems. A radar transmitter could be considered as having a spectrum in response to the "transmit" impulse. > ... > >If you get around to actually trying a calculation, let us know.

If you had tried Google in a more than cursory way you might have noticed that there are even a number of different definitions of "integrated sidelobe level". The choice between them depends on the nature of the signal you are analysing, the type of analysis you are trying to perform and what the purpose of your use of "integrated sidelobe level" will be. Until you can communicate that, no one can give more than a general answer. I suggest the effort at modeling to force you to face and make some of those choices. That could give you more specific questions. Dale B. Dalrymple |
