Frank Code

This is a polyphase code modulation format used for pulse compression.

The default Frank code Code Order is N = 4.

The Frank Code has N2 elements and is defined as:

i,j

Where i and j range from 1 to N. For example, the Frank Code with N = 4, by taking phase value modulo is given by the following sequence:

 

0

0

0

0

4x4

0

 

0

0

 

0

The figure below shows the spectrum of a 10 us pulse using Frank Coded phase modulation, where N = 10.
