Description

Photon reconfigurable waveform generation method and device
Technical Field
The invention relates to a waveform generation method, in particular to a photon reconfigurable waveform generation method, and belongs to the technical field of microwave photons.
Background
With the increasing complexity of the electromagnetic environment, the requirements on the radar system are gradually increased by continuously updating and iterating the combat mode. On one hand, the radar is required to realize a high-precision, long-distance and anti-interference detection target, on the other hand, the radar is required to be flexibly adjusted according to a battlefield environment to adapt to different requirements, and therefore the working center frequency, bandwidth and time width of the radar are required to be flexibly changed. Therefore, the transmitting signals of the radar system need to be flexible and changeable, and can be rapidly switched according to different battlefield environments. The reconfiguration of the bandwidth, the center frequency and the time width of the transmitted signal can help the radar to realize different detection targets, and in addition, the flexibility of the transmitted signal is improved by arbitrarily controlling the amplitude and the phase of the signal, so that the method has important significance to a radar system.
The traditional electronic signal generation methods mainly comprise two methods, namely an analog method and a digital method. The analog method generally utilizes a voltage-controlled oscillator or a surface acoustic wave device, and the voltage-controlled method has the problems that the phases of initial pulses are not coherent and the stability is poor, so that the quality of generated broadband signals is poor. Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) methods produce signals with narrow pulse widths and complex and bulky systems due to limitations in the performance of electronic devices. The digital method, which mainly generates signals through a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS), has an advantage in that amplitude, phase and frequency manipulation of output waveforms can be precisely performed, but the center frequency and bandwidth of generated signals are limited due to limitations of electronic bottlenecks. The requirement of radar systems for large bandwidth transmission of signals still faces challenges and requires flexible and adjustable parameters of the transmitted signals.
In order to break through the electronic bottleneck, the photonic technology has attracted much attention in recent years by virtue of its advantages of low loss, light weight, large bandwidth, electromagnetic interference resistance, and the like. Signal generation schemes based on photonic technology have been developed, mainly divided into: mapping method, light injection method and frequency doubling method. The mapping method can be divided into a wavelength-time mapping method and a frequency-time mapping scheme, and a typical scheme of the wavelength-time mapping method (Zhang H, zou W, chen J. Generation of a wide tunable linear wave form based on spectral filtering and unbalanced dispersion [ J ]. Optics Letters,2015,40 (6): 1085-1088.) is implemented by filtering and unbalanced dispersion in the frequency domain, and optical pulses with different dispersions enter a photoelectric detector to be converted into electric signals to obtain linearly chirped waveform signals. The desired waveform can be obtained by tuning the passband of the optical filter, but is typically on the order of nanoseconds wide. Frequency-time mapping schemes typically require an optical spectrum shaper, which consists of a differential group delay device, two polarization controllers and a polarization beam splitter in the literature (Zhang F, ge X, pan s. After the short light pulse passes through the spectrum shaper and the dispersion element, the required microwave signal can be obtained through balanced photoelectric detection. The advantage of this scheme is that low frequency spurious interference is avoided using balanced detection, but the scheme is significantly affected by polarization and temperature. The optical injection technology (Zhou P, zhang F, guo Q, et al. Linear-chirped microwave generation with large-time-based width product by optically injected semiconductor laser [ J ]. Optics Express,2016,24 (16): 18460-18467.) is implemented by using a semiconductor laser operating in a P1 oscillation state, and the center frequency, bandwidth and time width of a generated linear chirp signal can be controlled by adjusting the waveform and injection strength of an electric control signal, but the frequency of the generated signal does not strictly linearly change with time due to the temperature sensitivity of the semiconductor laser, and a feedback loop or a temperature control device is required to compensate. The frequency multiplication method is realized by an integrated electro-optical modulator (Guo Q, zhang F, zhou P, et al, dual-band LFM signal generation by optical frequency squaring and polarization multiplexing [ J ]. IEEE Photonics technologies Letters,2017,29 (16): 1320-1323.), carrier suppression is realized by a bias-division multiplexing double balanced modulator, only positive and negative second-order sidebands are left, and the final output signal is four times of the original loading signal, so that a signal four times of the center frequency and the bandwidth of the original signal can be generated.
In summary, the traditional chirp signal generation scheme is limited in reconfigurability, cannot meet the electronic combat requirements under increasingly complex electromagnetic environments, and seriously restricts the reconfigurability and the multi-functionalization of integrated radio frequency integrated systems such as radars and satellites.

If channel M, M +1, \ 8230n (M is the first channel of the splice, M < N) splice is selected, a reconfigurable chirp signal with a bandwidth of (N-M + 1) × B and a time width of (N-M + 1) × τ will result. If Δ f ≠ B, the chirp signals after splicing may overlap, which affects the quality of the generated chirp signals, and such a situation should be avoided as much as possible.
