摘要：

Through modeling we explored the possibility of utilizing a sparse frequency linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal for laser radar (ladar) applications. We propose a potential transmit and receive experiment utilizing the superposition of two LFM laser sources with a known difference frequency to provide the necessary segmented bandwidth. Finally we analyzed the signal performance of the proposed system showing that the range resolution of the signal can be improved by two to three times while utilizing the same modulator bandwidth as that of a continuous LFM signal.
