Ambiguity function of Inmarsat BGAN signal for radar application

Abstract: The Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) L-band downlink signal from a radar viewpoint is studied. The signal is modelled and its ambiguity function (AF) is analysed and the AF is compared with that of the real recorded signal. It is shown that the AF of a single Inmarsat channel has an interference floor of −40 dB for 80 ms integration time. The AF of the Inmarsat BGAN signal is improved by combining multiple frequency channels with channel overlap.

“…Ambiguity function has the characteristics of high resolution and strong clutter suppression ability, and can deal with non-stationary signals very well. Many scholars have used it to study radar Symmetry 2018, 10, 730 8 of 14 signals [24][25][26]. Correlation coefficient is a good way to measure the similarity of two signals, and it is simple in computation.…”
