Abstract:

The proposed Doppler measurement technique shows that the Doppler measurements can be accomplished by a single pulse with multiple frequency components through optical fibre delay lines. Range and velocity ambiguity can be removed, and the velocity resolution can be improved dramatically by using long optical fibre delay lines. Furthermore, the velocity resolution can be modified by adjusting the length of optical fibre delay lines. In addition, the proposed radar can achieve high range resolution by using a single wideband pulse. As a result, the new approach can improve radar performance significantly.
