Trabajo en el Predio y Toma de decisiones

In my future work, I want to work on a special breed of frequency coded pulses known as Costas Pulses that I have already mentioned briefly in the article 1.4.3 of chapter one. Costas coded pulses follow a frequency hopping sequence, that result in sidelobe levels which is 1/N of the mainlobe peak for any delay and Doppler shift. Hence greater reduction in sidelobes can be obtained by increasing the order of the Costas code. But the generation of Costas codes after N=30 is hard to get, and based on rigorous computer search as they are very unevenly distributed. Hence my work will be to design the pulses using Costas Hoping sequences and finding Costas sequences of higher orders by developing and implementing efficient search algorithms specific for the purpose.
