So just what is a "coherent signal?" By definition, a coherent signal is a pair of optical signals that have the same frequency and that maintain a constant phase offset. Coherent modulation formats modulate the phase of the coherent light wave (Figure 1).

What is the difference between coherent and non coherent receiver?
Non-coherent means optical transmission system does not require coherent local oscillator light; Coherent means optical transmission system that uses local oscillator light for coherent detection.
What is coherent frequency?
coherence, a fixed relationship between the phase of waves in a beam of radiation of a single frequency. Two beams of light are coherent when the phase difference between their waves is constant; they are noncoherent if there is a random or changing phase relationship.
What is coherent RF?
Editorial Team - everything RF
Phase Coherence is a phenomenon where a constant phase difference exists between any two signals or waves of the same frequency.
What is coherent in radar?
A coherent radar compares the phase or frequency of a target echo with a stable oscillator or reference signal source. Natural objects, such as trees or islands, tend to be relatively steady in phase or frequency. (An important exception is the Doppler-shifted frequency of echoes from weather phenomena.)
