Abstract: This paper focuses on the study of effect of background noise and Doppler Effect on various Nonlinear Frequency Modulation (NLFM) waveforms designed using two stage piece-wise and three stage piece-wise linear and non linear functions. The background noise investigated is Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Simulations are carried out for different target speeds ranging from 100 to 5000km/hour to study Doppler Effect. The simulations are carried out using Matlab software. Among the waveforms designed, the NLFM function designed using two piece-wise Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) is observed to be Doppler tolerant and also not affected by noise, as the SNR changes from -20 to 20 dB the peak side-lobe level (PSL) of this signal is around -34.84 dB.
Keywords: Linear frequency modulation, Non-Linear frequency modulation, Piece-wise functions, Peak-sidelobe level, Doppler Tolerance.
