Abstract

The article focuses on a novel multi-function radar (MFR) protocol that integrates optical vortex arrays and laser radar technologies to enable real-time detection, positioning, and tracking of moving targets. This protocol combines hardware-based resource management with advanced signal processing to enhance imaging accuracy and versatility, supporting applications such as autonomous vehicles and aerial systems. It also extends to topographic laser profiling for three-dimensional landscape mapping, demonstrating adaptability across diverse scenarios. The system determines target azimuth through analysis of the Poynting vector flow and estimates radial distance via total power measurements, allowing continuous tracking and velocity estimation. While currently limited to approximate azimuth measurements, the protocol shows promise for future improvements and broader deployment in miniaturized radar hardware.
