Preliminary results of a study aimed at the development of a simultaneous signal instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) receiver using optical implementation methods are reported. A method for detecting simultaneous signals in an IFM receiver is briefly reviewed. Two architectures (coherent and incoherent) for optical phase correlators are then described and compared. Some considerations concerning the practical implementation of the two architectures are discussed.
