FM-CW radar range measurement at 10-µm wavelength

Abstract

The results are reported of some preliminary experiments on FM-CW range measurement using a CO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> laser and a nitrogen-cooled PbSnTe detector. In clear conditions diffuse targets at ranges up to 10 km have been detected.
