The Panchromatic Principle in Optical Filtering.
Abstract
The panchromatic optical correlator is one attempt at satisfying a particular requirement of high data rate receivers matched to the transmitted waveform. The technique is presently still in a breadboard stage and its applicability is not fully proven as yet, but it offers a reasonably promising expectation for the simultaneous processing of variously Doppler-distorted signals. This simultaneous approach would obviate the need for a sequential scan of all the Doppler possibilities, which customarily is multiplexed with a real-time correlation process. The technique is particularly applicable in low Q wide-bandwidth systems in which Doppler distortions cannot be approximated by simple frequency shifts of the signal components.
