Radio Frequency (RF) Acousto-Optic Signal Pattern Recognition
Abstract
A computer model, with laboratory confirmation, was constructed to serve as a tool for analysis of RF signal generation and compression using acousto-optics. The emphasis of the model was on incorporation of realistic hardware and noise parameters. Application discussed here is intended to point out the general nature of the model and to review an example application to linear frequency modulated radar waveforms.
