The Principle of the Electro-Optic System in Passive Synthetic Aperture Lmging

Abstract:

As the synthetic aperture has been widely used in remote sensing and imaging system. Various methods have been used to enhance the imgaing speed of the system. Optical method has been proved to have the high imaging speed in processing microwave signals. The received signal can be modulated in optical carrier by the electro-optic amplitude modulation. The optical signal is processed by relevant optical instruments. The article compares the new electro-optic imaging system with the original system. The principle of the new system has been proved to be similar with the original system. The structure of the new system has been verified to have the possibility to realize real-time imaging. The key point of the new system has been analysed and the main challenge in the new system has been checked in the article.
