20.500.12556/RUL-169495 Advances in and applications of microwave photonics in radar systems a review Modern radar systems frequently encounter constraints on bandwidth, transmission speed, and resolution, particularly within complex electromagnetic settings. Microwave photonics (MWP) provides solutions through the integration of photonic elements to improve radar’s functionalities. This review paper examines the question of how to improve radar performance by using MWP-based radar components for signal transmission, local oscillator signal generation, radar waveforming, optical beamforming networks, mixing, filtering, co-site interference suppression, real-time Fourier transformation, and analog-to-digital conversion. MWP radar systems achieve wider bandwidths, greater resistance to electromagnetic interference, and reduced phase noise, size, weight, and power consumption. Consequently, the integration of MWP into radar systems has the potential to increase the accuracy of these systems. microwave photonics microwave photonic radar optical signal processin mikrovalovna fotonika mikrovalovno fotonski radar optično procesiranje signalov true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-05-30 10:04:28 2025-05-30 10:04:31 2025-05-31 04:26:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 20 str. iss. 6, art. 529 Vol. 12 Jun. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 621.39:621.382.2:535 2304-6732 10.3390/photonics12060529 237753091 photonics-12-00529.pdf photonics-12-00529.pdf 1 1B0F699225288D47845F072FA6424F4D 2d5aa923e946b34762e84f97f425529055ba1bd1de62400938cfb45c1b2abb66 92d690cc-3d2b-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210908 https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6732/12/6/529 1 6a0d5170-3d2b-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210907 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko 0 0 0
