Abstract

Optical modality configured to simulate measurements of the radar cross-section of targets, dimensioned to be conventionally-measured in the RF-portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, with sub-micron accuracy. A corresponding compact optical system, with a foot-print comparable with a tabletop, employing optical interferometric time-of-flight approach to reproduce, on a substantially shorter time-scale, radar-ranging measurements ordinarily pertaining to the range of frequencies that are at least 10times lower than those employed in the conventional RF-based measurement.
