Characteristics of PCM(Pulse Code Modulation) waveform are suitable for target tracking. Especially in terms of dwell time, it is desirable to detect and track a moving target with the single PCM waveform for a MFR(Multi-Function Radar) which carries out multiple tasks. General PCM waveform processing includes Doppler filter bank caused by the characteristics of ambiguity function, to detect target and estimate Doppler frequency, which induces hardware burden and computational complexity. We propose a ML(Maximum Likelihood) based Doppler estimator for a PCM waveform, which is the closed form suboptimal solution and computationally efficient to estimate Doppler frequency and detect a moving target.

As the application field of radar is expanded and the bandwidth increases, the number of radar sensors operating at the same frequency is continuously increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of analyzing interference when two pulse doppler radars are operated at the same frequency with different waveform which are designed independently. In addition, we show that even for a previously designed LFM waveforms, the interference can be suppressed without affecting the performance by changing the sign of the frequency slope by increasing/decreasing, or by modulating the pulses by the different codes. The interference suppression by different slopes is more effective for similar waveform and the suppression by the codes increases as the number of pulses increases. We expect this result can be extended to the cases where multiple radars are operated at the same frequency.

The performances of embedded adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM), embedded adaptive delta modulation (ADM), and the same systems with a delayedfecision scheme have been studied with real speech over a wide dynamic range. The embedded ADPCM and ADM coders have been obtained by modifying the conventional ADPCM and ADM coders. The basic scheme of the embedded ADPCM coder is based on the ADPCM originally proposed by Cummiskey et at. For embedded ADM systems, we have modified continuously variable slope DM (CVSD) and hybrid commanding DM (HCDM) systems. Among these embedded coders, the performance of the embedded HCDM is superior to the other coders over a wide range of transmission rate from 16 to 64 kbits/s, When the delayedtecision scheme is applied to the embedded ADPCM the performance is improved significantly at all transmission rates. But, in the embedded ADM systems with 16 kHz sampling rate, the performance improvement resulting from delayed decision is not drastic as is in the embedded ADPCM with the same number of delayed samples.
