Abstract :
An S2-material based photonic signal processor can perform wideband pulse compression over tens of GHz of instantaneous bandwidth in real-time. We utilize these capabilities to demonstrate wideband mismatched filtering showing 14 dB improvement in the peak-to-sidelobe-ratio when compared to the matched filter case. We proposed the utilization of this technology for adaptive waveform radar signal processing.
