Abstract

The invention discloses a photon microwave down conversion device and method, and belongs to the technical field of microwave signal processing. In the device, an electro-optic modulator, an optical narrow band notch filter, a photoelectric detector and an electric mixer form an oscillating loop, the device has a function of generating microwave local oscillation, and the frequency of a local oscillation signal can be flexibly adjusted by changing the frequency of output optical waves of a variable length adjustable laser. Due to a phase modulation function of the electro-optic modulator, a radio frequency signal is output from an output end of the down conversion photoelectric detector, thus having complete radio frequency isolation advantages. The down conversion device has flexible regulation and control ability, can not only perform down conversion on the radio frequency signals with different frequency to intermediate frequency signals with the same frequency, but also can performdown conversion on the same radio frequency signal to the intermediate frequency signals with different frequency. The photon microwave down conversion device solves the problems of complex structure, poor radio frequency isolation, flexible tuning difficulty and the like of microwave down conversion in the prior art.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microwave signal processing, and in particular relates to a photonic microwave down-conversion device and method. Background technique [0002] Microwave down-conversion is one of the key technologies of microwave signal processing. Its function is to change the frequency domain of the microwave signal received by the antenna, and reduce the frequency to a processable intermediate frequency band. Microwave down-conversion technology has extensive and important applications in satellite communication, wireless communication, radar and other fields. The traditional microwave down-conversion technology based on electrical methods is mainly realized through the nonlinear characteristics of electronic devices such as diodes or FETs. The frequency range and bandwidth of frequency conversion processing are limited by the performance of electrical devices. With the increase of microwave frequency , the frequency...
