Photonic-assisted wideband phase noise measurement of microwave signal sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
ELECT A photonic-assisted scheme for the phase noise measurement of microwave signal sources is proposed based on the optical delay-line method. In the proposed scheme, all the microwave signal processing is implemented in the optical domain, and the electrical devices that would limit the operation bandwidth and measurement sensitivity are avoided, leading to a large operation bandwidth and a high sensitivity. The feasibility of the proved phase noise measurement system is experimentally verified. A large operation bandwidth of 5–40 GHz is achieved, and a phase noise floor as low as −140 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset is obtained.

Wideband and frequency-tunable microwave generation using an optoelectronic oscillator incorporating a Fabry-Perot laser diode with external optical injection.
Wideband and frequency-tunable microwave signal generation using an optoelectronic oscillator incorporating a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) with external optical injection is proposed and demonstrated. Through external injection, the FP-LD functions as a tunable high-Q photonic microwave filter, and the frequency tuning is realized by either tuning the wavelength of the externally injected op...

A simple photonic approach to implementing an ultra-wideband microwave phase shifter based on an erbium-ytterbium (Er/Yb) co-doped linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating (LCFBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The LCFBG is designed to have a constant magnitude response over a reflection band, and a phase response that is linear and nonlinear in two sections in the reflection band. Wh...
متن کاملTDL-based Wideband Beamforming for Radio Sources Close to the Array Endfire
Uniform linear array (ULA)-based tapped-delay line (TDL) structure has good performance metrics when the signal sources are located at the middle angles. It offers poor performance when the signal sources are close to the array endfire. In this paper, a new approach is proposed which offers higher performance and desired beamforming on TDL structure when the wideband uncorrelated radio sources ...

متن کاملSuppression of SBS-Induced RF Phase Noise in an RF-Photonic Link
In this paper, we examine and suppress the effects of stimulated Brillouin scattering on the phase noise of a 10 GHz signal transmitted over an RF-photonic link. We demonstrate the appearance of interference peaks in the RF phase noise of a microwave signal transmitted through a 10 km optical fiber link. We attribute these peaks to double Brillouin scattering using a reduced model. We determine...
