Abstract

A digitally-controlled pulse shaper (DCPS) is provided which precisely controls the shape of the leading and trailing edges of a transmit pulse in a radar wind profiler, or pulsed-radar. In the case of pulse coding, where phase transitions are used to segment an otherwise longer pulse, the intra-pulse phase transitions are also shaped.
