Progress in Coherent Detection Methods

چکیده

Coherent detection techniques are used almost exclusively in radio astronomy, while direct detection predominates in the optical and infrared bands. The millimeter, submillimeter, and far–infrared bands represent a transition region from coherent to direct detection. In this paper, the relative merits of coherent and direct detection in the mm through far–IR are compared, the techniques of coherent detection are described, and recent technological advances in coherent detection systems are discussed.

Acquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods

Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...

Contribution of Auxiliary Coherent Radar Receiver to Target’s Velocity Estimation

Recent progress in bistatic radar techniques can be used to improve performances of classical monostatic radar. A prominent limitation of coherent radar is its inability to measure the complete velocity vector (magnitude and direction) of a detected target. A single coherent detection can provide range-rate only. At least two detections, separated in time, are needed to estimate the target’s ve...

Performance Improvement of Radar Target Detection by Wavelet-based Denoising Methods

With progress in radar systems, a number of methods have been developed for signal processing and detection in radars. A number of modern radar signal processing methods use time-frequency transforms, especially the wavelet transform (WT) which is a well-known linear transform. The interference canceling is one of the most important applications of the wavelet transform. In Ad-hoc detection met...

Novel Single Shot Bunch Length Diagnostic Using Coherent Diffraction Radiation

Current beam bunch length monitors that measure the spectral content of beam-associated coherent radiation to determine the longitudinal bunch form factor usually require wide bandwidth detection, Fourier transformation of spectral or interferometric data, phase retrieval algorithms and multiple beam pulses to obtain the bunch length. In this paper we discuss progress in the development of a no...
