Description
Summary:Bistatic radar with the separate transmitter and receiver has some attractive merits, thus obtaining many attentions. However, in a traditional bistatic radar system, there are still many problems that hinder it from practical applications. Here we introduce a bistatic radar scheme using a well-designed optical chaos system, from which the analog chaos signal could be determined by generated random binary sequence. The broad bandwidth analog signal is used as surveillance signal and the digital signal are transmitted to the receiver by optical fibers. Finally, high spatial and velocity resolutions of radar system could be obtained by using the analog chaos signal. A high-quality regeneration of the reference signal at different locations can be established by transmitting the digital sequence. Moreover, the mutual interferences could be concealed since the analog surveillance signal and the transmitted digital sequence are delivered by different paths. These could be advantageous for radar applications.
