ABSTRACT:
An acousto-optical classifier for classifying wide bandwidth signals such as high resolution radar returns of ships or very short pulse length signals of radar emitters. This is accomplished by generating the Fourier transform power spectrum with an acousto-optic cell oriented in the Bragg configuration and a low power coherent light source such as a laser. The power spectrum is detected to provide inputs to a digital classifier.
