Multifractional correlation.
Multifractional correlation is proposed that is based on a new generalized fractional Fourier transform to which we refer as a multifractional Fourier transform. The multifractional correlation yields remarkable improvements in the correlation output peak intensity, peak sharpness, and light efficiency compared with convention correlation, which uses matched and phase-only filters, and still maintains better target discrimination capability and a reasonable robustness to noise. An optoelectronic hybrid system that can implement the multifractional correlation is also suggested.
