A method and apparatus for preventing the occurence of range ambiguities and Doppler ambiguities in both a radar and sonar environment. A series of N pulses are produced, each of which contains a number of contagious subpulses. Each of the subpulses exhibits a different frequency than the remaining subpulses in that particular pulse. Furthermore the order of appearance of , the subpulses in each of the pulses is unique with respect to the remaining pulses in the series. A matched filter receiver (10) and Doppler processor (30) are used to provide auto correlations and cross correlations (R1-RN) to prevent the range ambiguities and Doppler ambiguities.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 30, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 30, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 30, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
