Abstract
Monostatic radar equations are reported for laser–transceiver sensors that employ coherent optical detection over a linear-array photodetector. Explicit results are presented illustrating the impact of transmitter and receiver antenna patterns on the heterodyne mixing efficiency achieved by each detector element.
