Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a modulation recognition method for recognizing the modulation form of microwave signals. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication technology has profoundly changed our lives. The traditional spectrum allocation method is based on frequency, independently allocated with clear boundaries; while the new generation of communication adopts the method of dynamic spectrum sharing, which improves the spectrum utilization efficiency and also increases the difficulty of spectrum supervision. Facing the new requirements and challenges of future communication, we need to accurately identify relevant parameters including the signal modulation form to ensure the security and stability of communication. So-called modulation recognition refers to judging the modulation form adopted by a signal on the premise of unknown modulation information content and modulation parameters. Existing modulation recognition technologies usually obtain the time-frequency characteristics of microwave signals through time-frequency mapping and analysis of microwave signals, and then realize the recognition of their modulation forms according to the time-frequency characteristics of the signals. The time-frequency diagram of a signal is an image that visualizes the changes of the signal in time and frequency. The horizontal axis of the time-frequency diagram represents time, the vertical axis represents frequency, and the brightness or color of each point represents the intensity or energy of the signal at that moment and frequency. With the increasing development of machine learning, some technical solutions that combine time-frequency diagrams with artificial neural networks to achieve modulation recognition have emerged currently.

[0003] Existing technologies usually realize the time-frequency mapping and analysis of microwave signals in the electrical domain. mainly through digital signal processing technology, converting the analog signal to be measured into a digital signal through analog-to-digital conversion, and obtaining the time-frequency characteristics of the microwave signal through processing methods such as fast Fourier transform, wavelet transform or Hilbert transform in the digital domain. These methods decompose the signal into a series of time-frequency atoms in time-frequency and represent them in the form of a time-frequency diagram. The core of these solutions is to calculate the spectrum frame by frame and then combine to generate a time-frequency diagram. Its calculation is mainly implemented by a high-performance digital processor or FPGA, and the processing speed is limited by the computing power of electronic hardware and the data transmission bandwidth, and the calculation amount is large when analyzing ultra-wideband signals.

By directly performing Fourier transform through optical devices, the radio frequency signal is modulated to the optical domain for processing. Combining the time-delay characteristics of dispersion broadening and compression, the instantaneous bandwidth limitation of traditional spectrum analysis is broken through, while computational resources are saved and the real-time performance of modulation recognition is improved.

[0045] The modulation recognition device based on microwave photon frequency-time mapping proposed by the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, includes:

[0046] A microwave photon frequency-time mapping module, which is used to perform microwave photon frequency-time mapping on the microwave signal to be measured, map the frequency information of the microwave signal to be measured to the time domain, and obtain the time-frequency characteristics of the microwave signal to be measured;

[0047] A neural network model, which is pre-trained and used to take the time-frequency characteristics of the microwave signal to be measured as input and output the modulation form of the microwave signal to be measured.

[0048] For the convenience of public understanding, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail through several specific embodiments below:

[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] The structure of the modulation recognition device in this embodiment is as Figure 2 shown. The optical pulse signal emitted by the laser is dispersion-stretched by the dispersion medium 1 (with positive dispersion amount) to achieve the time-domain broadening of the optical pulse; the Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) modulates the microwave signal to be measured onto the time-domain broadened optical pulse signal to generate a modulated optical pulse signal containing a carrier and positive and negative first-order sidebands; the modulated optical pulse signal output by the MZM is then dispersion-compressed by the dispersion medium 2 (with negative dispersion amount and the same dispersion amount as that of the dispersion medium 1) to achieve the time-domain compression of the optical pulse, and the frequency information of the microwave signal to be measured is converted to the time domain; the time-domain compressed modulated optical pulse signal is converted into an electrical signal by a photodetector; the digital processing module obtains the time-frequency diagram of the microwave signal to be measured by digitally sampling the electrical signal; inputting the time-frequency diagram into the pre-trained electrical neural network model can output the modulation form of the microwave signal to be measured.

[0051] For the convenience of public understanding, the basic principle of this embodiment will be described below:

[0052] In a photon frequency measurement system, the research on the dispersion medium mainly focuses on group velocity dispersion, mainly focusing on β2. D1 and D2 represent positive and negative dispersion media respectively. In the frequency domain, the functions of D1 and D2 are to introduce phase shifts to different frequencies, and the introduced phase shifts have a quadratic relationship with the frequency. Using It is expressed that the second derivative of the dispersion medium mode propagation constant β0 with respect to frequency is obtained through Fourier transform. The time-domain form of its response is:

[0053]

[0054] The pulsed signal output by the laser is denoted as u0(t). After being dispersion-stretched by D1 and broadened in the time domain, the output of D1 is denoted as u1(t), where denotes the convolution symbol, and there is:

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] Since the pulse width of the laser output is very narrow and the large dispersion of the system can meet the requirements of the far-field time-domain condition, that is, the pulse signal width is much smaller than the dispersion, the τ 2 term can be directly ignored. The original formula can be simplified to:

[0058]

[0059] It can be seen that the role of D1 is to broaden the pulse. After the dispersion stretching module of D1, the RF electrical signal to be measured needs to be loaded on the optical signal through the electro-optic modulation of MZM, and the output optical signal is u2(t). The modulation relationship can be written as:

[0060] u2(t)≈u1(t)×[a + bβ m s(t)]

[0061] Output signal u3(t):

[0062]

[0063] Substituting the modulation relationship, we have:

[0064]

[0065] The au0(t) term is the initial pulse component input by the laser, The term represents that the system introduces a quadratic relationship with the phase changing with time to the output signal, that is, frequency chirping. S(ω) is the spectrum of the RF signal to be measured input, and ω corresponds to

[0066] When the signal to be measured is a single-frequency signal cos(ωt) with a frequency of f,

[0067]

[0068] In the above formula, in the time domain, 0, There is a pulse signal at each moment. After detection by the photodetector, it does not affect the time-domain positions of the three pulses. The frequency-time mapping relationship can be obtained as follows:

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] After photoelectric conversion, information is collected by a data acquisition card. A single output waveform can be expressed as:

[0072] I(t) = ax0(t) + b -1 x0(t + 2πf k φ) + b1x0(t - 2πf k φ)

[0073] It can be seen that after microwave photon frequency-time mapping, the system outputs three pulses in the time domain. The middle one is the original reference optical pulse, and the two on both sides are symmetric pulse signals. There is a certain relationship between the time interval between the pulse signal and the original optical pulse signal and the frequency value. The frequency of the microwave signal to be measured can be deduced according to the time interval of the time-domain pulse.

[0074] Through the above processing, the signal is divided into multiple small time windows, and each window contains a segment of the signal. By arranging the Fourier transform results of each time window on the time axis, a two-dimensional time-frequency distribution diagram (time-frequency diagram) can be generated. The horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents frequency. The generated time-frequency diagram is sent into a pre-trained electrical neural network model according to different analysis requirements. Based on deep learning-driven time-frequency analysis, the time-frequency diagram features are extracted by the electrical neural network for signal decomposition or classification. By extracting eigenvalues such as convolution on the image, the extracted features are input into the subsequent calculation layer to output the classification result or prediction value.

[0075] Embodiment 2

[0076] The structure of the modulation recognition device in this embodiment is as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the optical pulse signal emitted by the laser is dispersion-stretched by the dispersion medium 1 (whose dispersion amount is positive), so as to realize the time-domain broadening of the optical pulse; the Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) modulates the microwave signal to be measured onto the time-domain broadened optical pulse signal, generating a modulated optical pulse signal containing a carrier and positive and negative first-order sidebands; the modulated optical pulse signal is divided into two paths by a power splitter, one path passes through an optical filter 1 to filter out the optical carrier and one sideband and only retains one first-order sideband, and the other path passes through an optical filter 2 to filter out both sidebands and only retains the optical carrier; the two filtered optical signals are respectively time-domain compressed by two identical dispersion media 2, and then subjected to balanced photoelectric detection by a balanced photodetector; the digital processing module obtains the time-frequency diagram of the microwave signal to be measured by digitally sampling the electrical signal output by the balanced photodetector; by inputting the time-frequency diagram into a pre-trained electrical neural network model, the modulation form of the microwave signal to be measured can be output.

[0077] Taking the microwave frequency-hopping signal to be measured as an example, the expression of the signal to be measured is as follows:

[0078]

[0079] where \(0\leq t\leq T\), \(T\) is the total observation time, \(K\) is the total number of hops within the observation time, \(T_H\) is the hop period, \(a(t)\) is the complex envelope of the baseband, \(A\) s is the amplitude of the frequency-hopping signal, \(f\) k and are respectively the carrier frequency and phase of the \(k\)-th hop.

[0080] In the photon frequency measurement system, the research on the dispersion medium mainly focuses on group velocity dispersion. Mainly concerned with \(\beta_2\), \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) represent positive and negative dispersion media respectively. The propagation functions of \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) in the frequency domain and their corresponding time-domain forms are:

[0081]

[0082] Denote the pulse signal output by the laser as \(u_0(t)\). After being dispersion-stretched by \(D_1\) and time-domain broadened, the output of \(D_1\) is denoted as \(u_1(t)\), where represents the convolution symbol, and there is:

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] Since the pulse width of the laser output is very narrow, and the large dispersion amount of the system can meet the requirements of the far-field time-domain condition, that is, the pulse signal width is much smaller than the dispersion amount, the \(\tau\) 2 term can be directly ignored. The original formula can be simplified as:

[0086]

[0087] It can be seen that the function of D1 is to perform pulse broadening. After passing through the dispersion stretching module of D1, the radio frequency electrical signal to be measured needs to be loaded onto the optical signal through the electro-optic modulation of MZM, and the output optical signal is u2(t). The modulation relationship can be written as:

[0088] u2(t)≈u1(t)×[a + bβ m s(t)]

[0089] Output signal u3(t):

[0090]

[0091] After filtering out the optical carrier and the -1st order sideband in the upper branch, it is denoted as u 3(1) (t), and after filtering out the ±1st order sidebands in the lower branch, it is denoted as u 3(2) (t).

[0092] Substituting into the modulation relationship, we get:

[0093]

[0094] The term au0(t) is the initial pulse component input by the mode-locked laser,

[0095] The term represents that the system introduces a quadratic relationship with the phase changing over time to the output signal, that is, frequency chirping. S(ω) is the spectrum of the RF signal to be measured input, and ω corresponds to

[0096] When the signal to be measured is a single-frequency signal cos(ωt) with a frequency of f,

[0097]

[0098] u 3(2) (t) = au0(t)

[0099] Simplify u 3(1) (t) and u 3(2) (t):

[0100]

[0101] After passing through the 3dB coupler, it is divided into two optical waves u 3(11) (t), and divided into two optical waves u 3(21) (t),

[0102] Due to the use of the 3dB coupler, the phases of the two detected optical waves differ by π / 2. u 3(11) (t) is detected by the photodetector 1, u 3(21)(t) is detected by the photodetector 2. Since the detector is a square-law detector, the current signals output by the two detectors are i1(t) and i2(t) respectively:

[0103]

[0104] After being amplified by the differential amplifier, part of the noise and the DC term bias are cancelled, reducing the noise of the system.

[0105] At time 0 in the time domain, there is a pulse signal at each:

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] The microwave signal is modulated onto the optical carrier by the modulator. In the optical domain, the frequency information of the microwave signal is mapped to the time domain through frequency-time mapping. After beat frequency detection by the photodetector, the information can be collected by a data acquisition card and then recognized by an electrical neural network. When using a data acquisition card for information collection, the single output waveform on the display can be expressed as:

[0109] I(t) = ax0(t) + b1x0(t - 2πf k φ)

[0110] It can be seen that after microwave photon frequency-time mapping and balanced detection, the system outputs two pulses in the time domain, one is the original reference optical pulse and the other is the pulse signal. There is a certain relationship between the time interval between the pulse signal and the original optical pulse signal and the frequency value. The frequency of the microwave signal to be measured can be deduced according to the time interval of the time-domain pulse, associating the frequency information with the time dimension to achieve frequency-time mapping and generate a two-dimensional time-frequency diagram.

[0111] The time-frequency diagram can be further normalized, denoised and enhanced, and the image resolution can be adjusted according to the input requirements of the electrical neural network, and then input into the electrical neural network for modulation form recognition to output the modulation form of the signal.

[0112] Compared with Embodiment 1, although the microwave photon frequency-time mapping module of this embodiment adds components such as an optical filter and a power splitter, due to the adoption of balanced photodetection, the system noise of the optical link can be effectively eliminated, improving the accuracy of modulation form recognition.

[0113] Embodiment 3

[0114] In the above two embodiments, the optical signal after microwave photonic time-frequency mapping is converted into the electrical domain, and then the time-frequency diagram is extracted through digital processing. Finally, an electrical neural network with the time-frequency diagram as the input and the modulation form as the output is used to identify the modulation form. In fact, the optical signal after microwave photonic time-frequency mapping already contains the complete time-frequency information of the microwave signal to be measured, and the optical neural network can be directly used to extract its features and identify the modulation form. The modulation recognition device of this embodiment is based on this idea, and its structure is as shown in Figure 4 shown. The optical pulse signal emitted by the laser is dispersion-stretched by the dispersion medium 1 (whose dispersion amount is positive), so as to realize the time-domain broadening of the optical pulse; the Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) modulates the microwave signal to be measured onto the time-domain broadened optical pulse signal to generate a modulated optical pulse signal containing a carrier and positive and negative first-order sidebands; the modulated optical pulse signal output by the MZM is then dispersion-compressed by the dispersion medium 2 (whose dispersion amount is negative and the same as that of the dispersion medium 1), so as to realize the time-domain compression of the optical pulse, and the frequency information of the microwave signal to be measured is converted into the time domain; the modulated optical pulse signal after time-domain compression is input into the pre-trained optical neural network model, and the modulation form of the microwave signal to be measured can be output.

[0115] The modulation recognition device of Embodiment 2 is used to identify the triangular frequency modulation signal, and the obtained time-frequency diagram is as shown in Figure 5 shown, and it can be seen that the device can accurately identify the triangular frequency modulation signal.
