Abstract

We introduce a novel RF-photonics receiver concept for high performance ultra-compact 94 GHz radars optimized for cloud and precipitation profiling, planetary boundary layer observations, altimetry and surface scattering measurements. The new receiver architecture offers compelling advantages over traditional electronic implementations, including reduced size, weight and power (SWaP), lower system noise leading to improved sensitivity and a W-band LO with ultra-low phase noise to enable long pulse lengths needed for most compact spaceborne radar systems.
