Radar

Radar technologies including coherent radar systems are essential tools for detecting and analyzing objects. Low phase noise microwave signals enhance radar performance, enabling advanced sensing in cluttered and complex environments. New approaches leveraging photonic technologies allow unparalleled precision and stability in the generation of lowest phase noise microwaves. Further applications of lowest phase noise microwaves include metrology, deep-space navigation, next-generation telecommunications, and very long baseline interferometry.
