Abstract

Based on the theory of wave digital filters (WDFs), a new model is derived to represent single pulse matched filters for radar applications. This matched filter was obtained by calculating the coefficients of Lattice Wave Digital Filter (LWDF) adaptors by getting filter transfer function that results from arbitrary amplitude transfer function. In this paper, we are interested only to the main loop of the matched filter frequency response and its location of pass-band edges.
