Abstract :
A photonic-based coherent dual band radar system demonstrator, tested in an operative aerial scenario, is presented. Photonic technologies have been used for simultaneous generation and detection of radar signals in the S- and X-band. The sharing of a single transceiver for both the frequency bands allows for a perfect coherence among the generated waveforms.
