Comparison Of Binary Joint Transform Correlators And Phase-Only Matched Filter Correlators

We compare the performances of the binary joint transform correlator, the continuous phase-only matched filter correlator, the binary phase-only matched filter correlator, and the classic correlator for a limited set of patterns. Areas of comparison are the correlation peak, autocorrelation peak to sidelobe ratio, autocorrelation width, and discrimination sensitivity. In these areas, it is shown that the performance of the binary joint transform correlator is similar to the phase-only matched filter correlator.
