Integrated Optic Signal Processors for Wideband Radar Systems.
Abstract
Research effort for the first program year was placed on the utilization of wideband guided-wave (thin-film) acoustooptic deflectors for real-time pulse compression and convolution of wideband RF signals. For this purpose a very wideband deflector in a Y-cut LiNbO3 Ti-diffused waveguide having a measured bandwidth of 500 MHz was designed and fabricated. This deflector employs a three-element tilted-array transducer with the center frequencies of 275, 432 and 648 MHz, and has a measured deflector bandwidth of 500 MHz. This bandwidth represents the largest that has been achieved thus far.
