Scanner Development

Abstract

This report describes the development of a high speed laser scanner for spectrum analysis in ELINT applications. A design of an ATWL laser scanner was made with 200KHz line rate, 1000 spots per line and 1000 line format, and a recording bandwidth of 100MHz at 3dB points. An electronic drive circuit was designed and fabricated that achieved a 100% duty line scan with 2% dead time from frame to frame. An analysis was made to determine the optimum drive to the ATWL.
