Abstract

Based on the conventional correlation and fractional correlation, the extended fractional correlation (EFC) is presented. And based on the configuration of the nonconventional joint transform correlator, we propose the joint extended fractional Fourier transform correlator (JEFRTC). The properties of the extended fractional cross correlation peak (EFCCP) in theory are analyzed. A sound conclusion is drawn that the width of EFCCP is narrower than that of fractional correlation peak under some conditions. This JEFRTC can permit lower precision of the systemic parameters when implemented with optical configuration. That will improve correlator’s character discriminability.
