Abstract

Target movement during illumination causes reliability issues in imaging systems, particularly in applications where time efficiency is needed. A technique is proposed in order to reduce measurement time and as a consequence also motion blur effects. With the use of OFDM waveforms, a decrease in measurement time by a factor of 1.6 is achieved with minimal hardware costs. Measurement time for increasing numbers of carriers is predicted. A hardware realization is investigated with respect to hardware imperfections. Influence of intermodulation distortion and phase noise on dynamic range is discussed. Afterwards, imaging results are presented. © 2013 EMA.
