Abstract:Real-time and high-resolution imaging is demonstrated based on field trial detection of a non-cooperative target using a photonics-based inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR). By photonic generation and de-chirping of broadband linear frequency modulation signals, the radar can achieve a high range resolution thanks to the large instantaneous bandwidth (8 GHz at the K band), as well as real-time ISAR imaging using low-speed analog-to-digital conversion (25 MSa/s). A small-size unmanned aerial vehicle is employed as the noncooperative target, and ISAR imaging is realized with a resolution far better than those achieved by the previously reported photonics-based ISARs. The capability for real-time ISAR imaging is also verified with an imaging frame rate of 25 fps. These results validate that the photonics-based radar is feasible in practical real-time and high-resolution ISAR imaging applications.
