Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Method and apparatus for obtaining the doppler transform of a one-dimensional linear signal by re-arranging the signal into a two-dimensional raster form image pattern and then obtaining an optical linear transformation of the two-dimensional image. An optical circuit is provided for carrying out the transformation and is designed to process the signal for a large number of doppler levels in rapid succession without it being necessary to rescan the initial signal each time as in the prior art. Accordingly, a substantial reduction in processing time is achieved. The invention has been developed primarily for use in locating the position of underwater objects through the use of sonar, but has application in a variety of other data processing fields.
