Abstract:A new time-integrating acousto-optic correlator (TIAOC) was developed. It combines relatively low complexity with an exceedingly wideband of signals analyzed. The main feature of the architecture is the use of the light beams interference to provide the quadrature processing channel. The dynamic range (DR) of the new TIAOC is calculated for the active and passive operating modes. Parameter optimization to achieve the maximum DR is performed. The photodetector charge handling capacity is shown to be the main DR… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
