Pulse compression

Pulse compression is a technique used in various fields such as telecommunications, radar, and optical systems to shorten the duration of a pulse without altering its energy or amplitude. The primary goal of pulse compression is to increase the resolution or the ability to distinguish between closely spaced events in time, thus enhancing the performance of systems like radars or communication signals. ### How Pulse Compression Works: 1. **Broadband Input**: The process typically begins with a broadband input signal, which contains a wide range of frequencies.
