Compact Microwave Fourier Spectrum Analyzer

advertisement:

Large delays needed for time-domain autocorrelations would be realized photonically.

A compact photonic microwave Fourier spectrum analyzer [a Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer, (FTMWS)] with no moving parts has been proposed for use in remote sensing of weak, natural microwave emissions from the surfaces and atmospheres of planets to enable remote analysis and determination of chemical composition and abundances of critical molecular constituents in space.
