Abstract
A radar system comprises an optical fiber RF storage subsystem for storing a portion of RF signals before the transmission. The radar system further comprises a coherent RF receiver to process reflected RF signals using stored RF signals as a reference. Furthermore, the optical fiber RF storage system is used to store initially received RF signals for comparison with sequentially received RF signals.
