In the past few decades\, great efforts were devoted to improving radar's functionality\, precision\, and response time\, of which the key is to generate\, control and process a wideband signal with a high speed. Thanks to the high frequency\, large bandwidth\, low loss transmission and electromagnetic immunity provided by modern photonics\, implementation of the radars in the optical domain can provide better performance in terms of resolution\, coverage and speed which may not be achievable using tradi tional\, even state-of-the-art electronics. In this talk\, I'll give an ov erview of the photonic technologies that are currently known to be attract ive for radars. System architectures and their performance that may intere st the radar society are emphasized. Emerging technologies in this area an d possible future research directions are discussed.\n\nCo-sponsored by: M TT-SCV (CH06085)\n\nSpeaker(s): Shilong Pan\, \n\nSanta Clara\, California \, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/261079 LOCATION:Santa Clara\, California\, United States\, Virtual: https://events .vtools.ieee.org/m/261079 ORGANIZER:stliu.photonics@gmail.com SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Microwave Photonic Radars URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/261079 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>As the only method for all-weather and lon g-distance target detection and recognition\, radar has been intensively s tudied since it was proposed\, and is considered as an essential sensor fo r future intelligent society.
