Optical processing for adaptive phased-array radar
Abstract
Two architectural concepts for optical processors for adaptive phased-array radars (APAR) are discussed. A multichannel coherent correlator and a noncoherent optical vector-matrix processor are described, and their applications to APAR data processing are covered.
