This paper presents a method of combined pulse-series coding which is used to suppress range ambiguity in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).This method can suppress
in both range and azimuth
range ambiguity of back-scattered signals.Specially
an azimuth phase shifting method is presented and used in this combined pulse-series coding method to suppress range ambiguity in azimuth.Azimuth phase shifting method is based on the fact that back-scattered signals with range ambiguity are generated by pulses of different eradiating time.Following this method
shift pulses by different phases firstly
and then reverse-shift the back-scattered signals by one of these phases.Consequently
the Doppler history of back-scattered signals will be disturbed except the desired signal whose shifted phase is completely reverse-shifted.
