(ii) a Wherein the center frequency is
Figure 190749DEST_PATH_IMAGE031
The signal of (2) can be used for wireless communication to realize downlink transmission of user information.
Due to the fact that the carrier frequency is high, and the format of the baseband communication signal is not limited to low-order modulation formats such as OOK and ASK, and is not affected by radar signals, for example: phase-sensitive four-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM 4), so that the downstream rate of information can be guaranteed.
According toEIAndI 2the spectrum of the radio frequency signal generated by the photodetector is shown in fig. 4, given the parameters given in fig. 3. As can be seen from fig. 4, the up-converted baseband communication signalI commu Center frequency of
Figure 160979DEST_PATH_IMAGE031
Is 16 GHz.
According to the IEEE 521-2002 standard, the Ku wave frequency range is 12-18GHz and is a common wave band for satellite communication; the frequency range of the K wave band is 18-27GHz, and the K wave band is widely applied to radar communication. On one hand, under the constraint of the given frequency in fig. 4, the center frequency of the up-converted signal is 16GHz, and is located in the Ku band range, so that the up-converted signal can be used for satellite communication; on the other hand, by setting different frequencies, the system can work in frequency bands of different application types, thereby realizing flexible application of the system.

Figure 603145DEST_PATH_IMAGE036
Figure 530650DEST_PATH_IMAGE037
is the instantaneous frequency of the first chirp signal at T equal to T/2,
Figure 466245DEST_PATH_IMAGE038
is the instantaneous frequency of the second chirp signal at T equal to T/2.
In particular, bandwidth of baseband communication signals
Figure 331564DEST_PATH_IMAGE034

Figure 378017DEST_PATH_IMAGE039
And
Figure 160028DEST_PATH_IMAGE037
and a second double chirp signal
Figure 250213DEST_PATH_IMAGE038
And
Figure 117675DEST_PATH_IMAGE040
should be restricted from each other to prevent radio frequency signalsIThe other frequency components and the second double chirp signal after frequency multiplicationI sensing And up-converted baseband communication signalsI commu Spectral aliasing occurs, andI sensing andI commu spectral aliasing occurs in between.
The photon-assisted communication perception integrated device provided by the invention can realize seamless fusion of radio-over-fiber communication and a photon radar transmitting system by simultaneously generating two paths of signals applied to wireless communication and a radar system, thereby simplifying the structure of the system; the bandwidth of the baseband communication signal and the frequency of the double chirp signal are limited, and the occurrence of frequency spectrum aliasing is prevented.
Optionally, the bandwidth of the frequency-multiplied second chirp signal is 2 × B, where B is the bandwidth of the second chirp signal.
In particular, the electric fieldIThe second term in the expression of (a) is embodied as LFM2(t) electric field of the new chirp signal obtained after frequency multiplication, which is recorded asI 1And is unfolded to obtainI 1The expression of (a) is as follows:
Figure 967819DEST_PATH_IMAGE041
byI 1The expression of (2) shows that the generated frequency doubling chirp signal is still a double chirp signal, the double chirp signal contains an up-chirp waveform and a down-chirp waveform with the same bandwidth in the same pulse time period, and the distance-Doppler coupling effect generated when the single chirp signal is used for measuring a high-speed object can be eliminated; and the carrier frequency and bandwidth of the generated frequency-doubled double chirp signal: (
Figure 89490DEST_PATH_IMAGE042
) Is the second chirp signal LFM2(t) carrier frequency and bandwidth: (
Figure 366887DEST_PATH_IMAGE043
) Twice as much.
The center frequency and the bandwidth of the double chirp signal after frequency multiplication are LFM2(t) to increase the speed resolution and range resolution of the detection; in addition, because the bandwidth of the double chirp signal after frequency multiplication is increased, the energy is dispersed in a larger bandwidth, and when the working distance or the coverage range is kept constant, the power spectral density of the required transmitted signal is reduced, so that the probability of signal interception and the interference to other electromagnetic frequency bands can be reduced.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the frequency-multiplied second chirp signalI sensing Is in the range of 24-28GHz, whereas the frequency range of vehicle radar-related applications is in the range of 24.25-26.65 GHz. Therefore, the frequency-doubled chirp signal can be applied to vehicle-mounted radar and other related applications.
The photon-assisted communication perception integrated device provided by the invention can realize seamless fusion of radio-over-fiber communication and a photon radar transmitting system by simultaneously generating two paths of signals applied to a radar system and wireless communication, thereby simplifying the structure of the system; the carrier frequency and the bandwidth of the sensing signal are doubled through photon frequency doubling, the speed resolution and the distance resolution of radar detection are effectively improved, and the probability of signal interception and the interference to other electromagnetic frequency bands can be reduced.
Optionally, an optical filter is also included;
