Abstract

In a general aspect, a radar method includes transmitting an outgoing series of RF pulses toward a target region. The radar method also includes receiving an incoming series of RF pulses that is based on the outgoing series of RF pulses after passing through the target region. The radar method additionally includes producing, by operation of a vapor cell system, output signals that are based on incoming series of RF pulses and the laser signals interacting with a vapor of the vapor cell system. The radar method also includes operations of a signal processing system, such as generating response data, determining a Doppler shift, and determining a velocity of an object in the target region. The response data includes transient response data that represents transient responses of a vapor in the vapor cell system to respective phase changes in the incoming series of RF pulses.
