摘要
微波光子变频与移相技术是微波光子雷达的两个关键技术,若在实现微波光子变频的同时完成移相,可以大幅降低微波光子雷达系统的复杂度和体积。本研究基于光电振荡环路提出一种可同时完成微波光子变频与移相的方法,利用光电振荡环路对基频微波信号进行上变频,通过改变光电振荡器的输出频率,实现1.6~21.16GHz可调谐上变频;调节可调谐激光器的输出波长,利用色散补偿光纤的延迟效应等效改变上变频信号的相位,调谐范围可达50.4°。该方案将微波光子变频与移相技术结合,在拓展光电振荡器应用范围的同时,对微波光子雷达的实用化也有一定借鉴意义。
Microwave photonic frequency conversion and phase-shifting technology are both key technologies of microwave photonic radar.The complexity and volume of the microwave photon radar system can be greatly reduced if the phase shift is completed while the microwave photon frequency conversion is realized.A microwave photonic frequency conversion and phase-shifting method is proposed based on the optoelectronic oscillator loop.The fundamental frequency microwave signal is up-converted by using the photoelectric oscillation loop.The 1.6-21.16 GHz tunable up-conversion signal is regenerated by adjusting the frequency of the optoelectronic oscillator.The tuning range can reach 50.4°by adjusting the output wavelength of the tunable laser and using the delay effect of dispersion compensating fiber to change the phase of up-conversion signal.The two technologies of microwave photon frequency conversion and phase shifting are combined,which not only extend application scope of optoelectronic oscillator,but also give some references to the application of microwave photon radar.
