To increase maximum radar range, determined with effective radiated energy, pulse duration has to be expanded. However, a larger pulse increases the blind zone, i.e. the eclipsing effect is greater than before. In this paper spread spectrum radar/sonar with alternate pulse duration is proposed as one of possible ways to mitigate the eclipsing zone.

  

Key words: spread apectrum radar/sonar, alternate pulse duration, blind zone, eclipsing effect.
