Stable transmission of radio frequency signals on fiber links using interferometric delay sensing.

چکیده
We demonstrate distribution of a 2850 MHz rf signal over stabilized optical fiber links. For a 2.2 km link we measure an rms drift of 19.4 fs over 60 h, and for a 200 m link an rms drift of 8.4 fs over 20 h. The rf signals are transmitted as amplitude modulation on a continuous optical carrier. Variations in the delay length are sensed using heterodyne interferometry and used to correct the rf phase. The system uses standard fiber telecommunications components.

Radio Interferometer Using Fiber-Optic Links Modulated in the Radio-Frequency Range
We investigated a radio interferometer for geodetic use that incorporates commercially available fiber-optic links modulated in the radio-frequency range, and a method for compensating for the delay occurring in the links. With this type of radio interferometer, we can perform baseline analysis without the need for estimating the clock difference between observation stations, which causes a rel...

—In this paper, we propose and prove the scheme by stabilizing the fiber link time delay in the increase of the signal’s (RF) transmitted phase stability. Let radio frequency signals (RF) transmit between the intermediate node and a distal end to obtain the difference of time delay. The faster and smaller proportion of delay fluctuation are eliminated by the piezoelectric fiber stretchers (PZT...
