Heterodyne mixing efficiency for detector arrays

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Monostatic radar equations are reported for laser–transceiver sensors that employ coherent optical detection over a linear-array photodetector. Explicit results are presented illustrating the impact of transmitter and receiver antenna patterns on the heterodyne mixing efficiency achieved by each detector element.
