Abstract

Interferoceivers are apparatus which use optical fiber loop based radio frequency (RF) signal train generators to store transient pulses and regenerate their identical replicas for analysis. The present invention further advances the art of RF signal train generators and interferoceivers in investigating acoustical, electromagnetic, and optical transient phenomena. The disclosure includes mechanisms for tuning the interferoceivers, and means for forming synthetic images with chaotic pulses or pulses of opportunity.
