    • Modulating a pulsed optical carrier with a linearly frequency-modulated (LFM) waveform.
    • Generating multiband LFM microwave waveforms by optical heterodyning and transmitting via antenna.
    • Employing a de-chirping technique at the receiver using a reference waveform.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental verification of a three-band (C-band, X-band, Ku-band) LFM photonic radar.
    • Achieved instantaneous bandwidths of 1 GHz (C-band), 2 GHz (X-band), and 3 GHz (Ku-band).
    • Measured range resolutions of 15.98 cm (C-band), 8.39 cm (X-band), and 5.64 cm (Ku-band).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed multiband microwave photonic radar significantly enhances target detection ability.
    • Leveraging multiple frequency bands mitigates single-band limitations like material absorption and resolution constraints.
    • The system provides optimal performance in detection range, range resolution, and detectability.
