Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microwave photonics, in particular to a system and method for detecting and amplifying weak signals based on a photoelectric oscillator. Background technique [0002] Fast frequency measurement plays an increasingly important role in systems such as radar and electronic stations, but the premise of fast frequency measurement is that the system can distinguish the received signal, especially for the detection of weak signals. It is particularly important to detect and amplify the signal with a wide frequency band and high power. For the detection and amplification of weak signals, in its electronic solution, very narrow filters and amplifiers are used, but the realization of this solution is particularly difficult because of the technical development and the noise introduced by the electric amplifier. Microwave photonics method is adopted by more and more people because of its advantages of large bandwidt...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the existing methods, the multimode photodetector based on the injection-locked OEO intracavity electric band-pass filter for weak signals can only amplify the signal in the frequency range of 1-6GHz by 8dB, and the detection sensitivity It has reached -83dBm, but there is a problem that the detection frequency range is small and the amplification effect is not obvious; the tunable photodetector system based on Bragg grating is used to detect and amplify radio frequency signals, which can detect the frequency range of 1.5 ~ 5GHz The signal is amplified by 10dB, the detection sensitivity reaches -91dBm, and the measurement error of the detection frequency reaches 100MHz. However, the frequency range that this method can detect is limited by the grating to only 5.5GHz, and this method uses the loss of the first-order phase modulation The sideband is used to realize the conversion from phase modulation to intensity modulation to achieve the amplification of weak signals. In theory, there is an amplification bottleneck.
