High-resolution phased array radar imaging by photonics-based broadband digital beamforming
Abstract:
A photonics-based broadband phased array radar is demonstrated to realize high-resolution imaging based on digital beamforming. This photonics-based phased array radar can achieve a high range resolution enabled by a large operation bandwidth, and can realize squint-free beam steering by digital true time delay (TTD) compensation. In addition, the photonic dechirp processing applied in the receiver can alleviate the hardware requirements for data sampling and storage, and hence remarkably enhance the real-time signal processing capability. In a proof-of-concept experiment, target imaging by a photonics-based 1 × 4 phased array radar that has a bandwidth of 4 GHz (22-26 GHz) is demonstrated, of which the range and azimuth resolution is measured to be 3.85 cm and 2.68°, respectively. The proposed scheme provides good solution to overcoming the bandwidth limitation and implementing high-resolution imaging in a phased array radar.

Single-Phase Lines
Consider a single-phase, two-wire transmission line with equal phase spacing energized by a voltage source. One conductor carries a uniform positive charge, while the other carries an equal negative charge. The capacitance C of the line can be derived from the voltage V between the conductors. For a one-meter section of the line, the capacitance is given...
Phase Changes
A substance melts or freezes at a temperature called its melting point and boils or condenses at its boiling point. These temperatures depend on pressure. High pressure favors the denser form of the substance, so typically, high pressure...
