Institute of Electronics Institute of China website June 12 disclosure, the Institute successfully developed China's first microwave photon radar prototype, and through the field of non-cooperative imaging test target, access to the first domestic microwave photon radar imaging pattern, the image resolution On an order of magnitude higher than international standards. China's first microwave photon radar was born Radar has the ability to detect and image the target all-weather all-weather and has a wide range of applications in military and civilian applications. The traditional radar realizes the signal generation and processing with the electron as the carrier, and the resolution and processing speed have bottlenecks due to the limitation of the bandwidth of the electronic device, so that it is difficult to meet the demand for high performance radar in future applications. The microwave photon radar, with photon as the information carrier, uses abundant spectral resources and flexible photon technology to generate and process radar wideband signals better and faster, and has the ability of fast imaging, high resolution and clear identification of targets. Microwave photon radar prototype person in charge Li Wangzhe researcher told Science and Technology Daily reporter, the research team on the radar overall photon structure design, photon signal processing and photon photon compression processing, and imaging algorithms and other key technologies were tackled; after the experimental platform to verify the principle, Microwave anechoic chamber turntable experiments, system integration and field trials and a series of tests, the successful realization of the random targets in the air - Boeing 737 aircraft rapid imaging. Fast imaging and high resolution make it possible to identify aircraft details such as the engine, the tail, the flap guide and the number of aircraft, fully demonstrating the advantages of microwave photon radars. According to reports, in the known microwave photon radar, the Ministry of the field of imaging resolution of the highest radar, compared with similar international radar increased by about 30 times, and will continue to increase the resolution of an order of magnitude potential. Microwave photon rapid recognition of target fine structures and features not only can be applied to the combat platform for real-time identification of miniaturized targets, but also can provide accurate environment information for unmanned intelligent devices, which is of great significance in the field of military and civilian amphibious.
