technical field [0001] The invention relates to microwave signal frequency measurement, in particular to an optical instantaneous frequency measurement device. Background technique [0002] The frequency measurement of microwave signals plays an important role in the fields of electronic warfare, radar early warning, and electronic intelligence systems. However, with the development of communication technology and the explosive growth of data transmission capabilities, traditional electronic frequency measurement systems are difficult to meet the requirements of ultra-large instantaneous measurement. The urgent need for bandwidth (above 10GHz). The optical frequency measurement system has the advantages of large instantaneous bandwidth, anti-electromagnetic interference, light weight, etc., and can break through the limitations of the traditional electronic frequency measurement system.

Problems solved by technology

However, most frequency-energy mapping schemes cannot measure multiple frequency signals at the same time, and the measured results are related to the amplitude of the signal to be measured. It is necessary to control the amplitude of the signal to be measured to ensure the corresponding relationship between frequency and energy (see Zhou F ,Chen H,Wang X,et al.Photonic Multiple Microwave Frequency Measurement Based on Frequency-to-Time Mapping[J].IEEE Photonics Journal,2018,10(2):1-7.)

Most of the frequency-time mapping schemes adopt the method of optical carrier or optical filter time-domain sweep (see Ye C, Fu H, Zhu K, et al. All-Optical Approach to Microwave Frequency Measurement With Large Spectral Range and High Accuracy[J]. IEEE Photonics Technology Letters,2012,24(7):614-616.), but the frequency sweep rate will affect the system delay
