Abstract
A method for processing a radar signal based on a photonic fractional Fourier transformer comprises: transmitting a linear frequency modulation signal to targets to be detected, receiving echo signals of the targets to be measured, and loading the linear frequency modulation signal and the echo signals onto a single-frequency optical wave by an electro-optical modulator (S1); respectively biasing a sub-modulator and a parent modulator of the electro-optical modulator at different bias points, modulating the single-frequency optical wave by the electro-optical modulator based on the linear frequency modulation signal and the echo signals, and outputting a modulated optical signal (S2); converting the modulated optical signal by a photoelectric detector to a photocurrent (S3); and performing Fourier transform on the photocurrent to obtain a fractional Fourier spectrum, and obtaining distance information of the targets to be measured according to peak positions of each pulse signal in the fractional Fourier spectrum (S4).
