The application discloses a
microwave optical aperture conversion
staring receiving
system and method for optical domain
desquamation, and belongs to the technical field of
radar systems. The
system comprises a local reference light generation module introduced on an existing digital beam forming
radar receiver, which is used for generating a local optical reference
signal by suppressing a
single sideband modulation of another
light signal output by a
light source module. An optoelectronic detection and collection module is also introduced, which is used for collecting complete target echo light signals output by the optical
Fourier transform module through an optoelectronic
detector array. Meanwhile, the local optical reference
signal and the target echo light signals achieve collinear space matching on a photosensitive surface of the optoelectronic
detector array, and the two signals generate beat frequency. The square law detection characteristic of the optoelectronic
detector is used to realize mixed frequency optical domain
desquamation receiving of the target echo light signals. The target echo light signals received by the mixed frequency optical domain
desquamation are used for simultaneously detecting the
azimuth and distance of multiple targets.
