This proposal aims to explore a scalable, two-stage electronic-photonic MIMO radar system in the millimeter-wave range. In phase I of SPP 2111, the coherent optical distribution of the local oscillator signal was already addressed as well as the broadband integration of an electronic-photonic FMCW radar front-end. The vision for Phase II of SPP 2111 is the extension of a monolithically integrated electronic-photonic FMCW radar system by a new frequency-division multiplexing approach, which is realized by a new additional optical data-bus transmitting a high data rate coding scheme. With the help of this additional coding, a large amount of coherent 2x2 radar modules can be differentiated, while concentrating the computationally intensive coding in a central node. Especially for the electro-optical interfaces, intensive research into new technologies of optical modulation methods and components is necessary in order to meet the challenging bandwidth requirements.The EPIC-Sense II research project includes the following core scientific innovations: 1. Research of a broadband, two-stage FMCW MIMO sensor system in the D-band2. Monolithic integration of the interdisciplinary electronic-photonic system concept3. implementation of a two-stage frequency-division multiplexing scheme exploiting an additional high-speed optical data bus4. Investigation of interconnect and assembly techniques for optical networking of distributed, scalable electronic-photonic sensor nodes5. Integration of novel innovative circuit concepts to significantly extend the currently limited bandwidth of Silicon-based Mach-Zehnder modulators6. Research and proliferation of germanium-based electro-absorption modulators and integration into the SG25H5-EPIC technology platform

该提案旨在探索在毫米波范围内的可扩展的两阶段电子光雷达系统。在SPP 2111的I期中，已经解决了局部振荡器信号的相干光学分布以及电子光谱FMCW雷达前端的宽带积分。 SPP 2111阶段II期的视野是通过新的频段多路复用方法进行单层整合的电子光功能FMCW雷达系统的扩展，该方法通过新的其他光学数据库传输高数据速率编码方案来实现。借助此额外的编码，可以区分大量相干的2x2雷达模块，同时将计算密集型编码集中在中央节点中。特别是对于电流接口，为了满足具有挑战性的带宽要求，必须对光学调制方法和组件的新技术进行深入研究。Epic-Sense II研究项目包括以下核心科学创新：1。宽带的研究。 ，D型频段2中的两个阶段FMCW MIMO传感器系统。跨学科电子光系统概念的整体整合3。实施两阶段频道多路复用方案，利用了其他高速光学数据BUS4。研究分布式可扩展的电子传感器节点的互连和组装技术5。新型创新电路概念的整合，以显着扩大基于硅的Mach-Zehnder调制器的当前有限的带宽6。基于锗的电吸附调制器的研究和扩散以及集成到SG25H5-EPIC技术平台
