Abstract
A Ka-band microwave photonic imaging radar demonstrator with 10.02 GHz-bandwidth is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Continuous linear frequency waveform is optically generated in the transmitter and processed in the receiver. The range resolution of the demonstrator is tested to be 1.68 cm. Out-field tests while demonstrator works at inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode are carried out to image different targets.
