Abstract

An incoherent-only optical and electronic digital joint-transform correlator is proposed. A technique for the removal of extraneous signals inherent in the incoherent-only joint-transform correlator is also presented. A computer simulation and experimental results confirm the performance of the proposed incoherent-only joint-transform correlator.
