description It is well known that in the pulse-compression radar theory, the sidelobe reduction using synthesis of some proper nonlinear FM (NLFM) laws represents a major research direction. In order to assure the sidelobe suppression, the main objective of this paper is to present an adequate synthesis algorithm of NLFM signals based on stationary phase principle. The achieved experimental results confirm a significant sidelobe reduction (i.e., more than −40 dB) without necessity to apply some weighting techniques. In addition, the analysis of the synthesized NLFM laws by ambiguity function tool is also discussed.
