Description

Programmable optical time delay matrix and light-operated multi-beam forming device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multi-beam forming device, in particular to an optically-controlled multi-beam forming device, and belongs to the technical field of microwave photonics.
Background
With the rapid increase of capacity demand of wireless communication systems, MIMO systems based on small-scale antennas in the 4G era have been difficult to adapt to the trend of development. By the age of 5G, massive MIMO technology has been developed to solve this problem. Massive MIMO may implement 16, 32, 64, 128, or even larger-scale antennas in 5G compared to up to 8 antennas for 4G MIMO. As one of the 5G key technologies, the most important component of massive MIMO technology is multi-beam forming. The traditional beam forming system based on pure electronic technology has an electronic bottleneck, and benefits from the large bandwidth and low loss of optical elements, and the microwave photon multi-beam forming has the advantages of small size, flexible control, light weight, electromagnetic interference resistance and the like. The light-operated multi-beam forming technology mainly comprises two means of phase shift and time delay, a beam forming system based on the phase shift principle can only realize narrow-band beams due to the inherent beam tilt effect, and the time delay technology is widely applied because the beam deflection problem does not exist.
In recent decade, light-operated multi-beam forming technology has been studied and developed in depth at home and abroad. The university of Texas in the United states proposed a real-Time Delay Beamformer Based on photonic Crystal fibers (sub arm. H, Chen. M. Y, Chen. R. T. photonic Crystal Fiber-Based True-Time-Delay Beam former for Multiple RF Beam Transmission and Reception of an X-Band phase-Array Antenna [ J ] Journal of Lightwave Technology,2008,26(15):2803 Tec 2809.) that utilizes the high dispersion coefficients of photonic Crystal fibers to generate different delays for signals of different wavelengths passing through photonic Crystal fibers of different lengths. Although the scheme can generate multi-beam, the beam direction can only be realized by changing the wavelength of the laser because the length of the photonic crystal fiber is fixed and can not be switched, and the cost is higher; and the preparation of photonic crystal fibers is difficult. The Nanjing aerospace university proposes a combined architecture of a multi-wavelength source and a dispersive optical fiber (Ye.X, Zhang.F, Pan.S. optical real time delay unit for multi-beamforming [ J ]. Optics Express,2015,23(8): 10002). in the scheme, N different radio frequency signals are modulated onto each comb tooth in an optical frequency comb, various time delays of a plurality of RF signals can be obtained after passing through the dispersive optical fiber, an N-port programmable filter is inserted to select N comb lines, and then the comb lines are divided into N paths. The desired RF signal is extracted by a microwave photonic filter in each path. The programmable optical filter has the advantage of flexible wavelength selection, and an independent controllable time delay is introduced to a certain radio frequency signal on each path, so that multi-beam forming is realized. However, the system needs N filters to separate frequencies, and the structure is complex (at least two sets of such structures are needed to realize multi-beam).
