Abstract

Application software Backscatter Computer simulation Dynamic range Laboratories Laser radar Optical transmitters Radar applications Radar clutter Radar detection
The application of well-established, coherent RADAR technology to aerial light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) systems has reduced incoherent backscatter clutter by 17 dB in laboratory experiments and computer simulations. The full-scale experimental realization of this hybrid LIDAR-RADAR system is hampered by the unavailability of a stable modulation source capable of providing high peak powers to overcome the large dynamic range required for the LIDAR backscatter measurement. Two methods being investigated for the microwave-modulation of a transmitted optical pulse to be utilized in the actual LIDAR environment are detailed.< >
