Short-range self-pulsed optical radar

Abstract

Laser for radar device is retriggered when previous laser pulse is reflected from target. Target range R is computed from number of pulses triggered per time interval. Radar accurately measures distances up to 500 meters; it is useful for determining surface shape of relfectors in large, high-gain, highly directional antennas and for other short-range surveying.
