Abstract

In a general aspect, a radar system includes a vapor cell sensor system and a radio frequency (RF) optic. The vapor cell sensor system includes a vapor cell sensor, and the RF optic is configured to direct an RF field onto the vapor cell sensor. The RF field includes one or more RF pulses that define a radar signal. The radar system also includes a signal processing system configured to perform operations that include generating a digital signal based on a signal from the vapor cell sensor system. The digital signal represents a measured response of the vapor to the RF field over a time period. The operations also include applying a matched filter to the digital signal to generate a filtered signal and processing the filtered signal to determine properties of the RF field sensed by the vapor cell sensor over the time period.
