Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of electric field sensing, and in particular to an ultra-wideband fast electromagnetic environment sensing device based on a femtosecond pulse light source and a sensing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Electromagnetic environment sensing plays an important role in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design. The development of electronic technology has led to an increase in the complexity of devices in the electronic power system. Many devices are integrated into the same system or platform, with complex spectral components and increased mutual interference between devices, making the electromagnetic compatibility problem more prominent. Therefore, electromagnetic compatibility has become an important indicator for measuring the performance of a device or system. During the electromagnetic compatibility design process, engineering designers need to pre-iterate "design - test - re-design" according to the internal electromagnetic emission characteristics of the device, locate the interference source step by step, check for possible electromagnetic compatibility problems, and continuously improve the device performance.

[0003] Electromagnetic environment sensing is of great significance in military affairs. The development of electronic technology has promoted the development of military equipment. The complexity of the spectral information of the frequency-using equipment of the equipment has led to the complexity of the battlefield electromagnetic environment. Under the requirement of joint operations in the land, sea, air, space, and electromagnetic domains, the mastery of battlefield electromagnetic environment information directly determines the outcome of victory. Electromagnetic environment sensing can be applied to electromagnetic environment situation awareness, comprehensively master the distribution of the battlefield electromagnetic environment from multiple dimensions of time - space - frequency - energy, master the electromagnetic environment information of the enemy and us, and ensure our advantageous position.

[0004] Traditional electromagnetic environment sensing mostly uses an antenna plus a superheterodyne receiver. Although a superheterodyne receiver can achieve a very high frequency band, there is a contradiction between the sweep speed and the measurement sensitivity. For rapidly changing signals (such as ultra-short pulses), it is easy to miss sampling during the frequency sweep process, thus unable to obtain complete electromagnetic environment information. The channelized receiver receives through multiple channels, which can improve the receiving speed, but the equipment is complex and the cost is high. For the battlefield where a large number of sensors need to be deployed, the cost is huge. With the development of microwave photon technology, electromagnetic signal receiving devices based on microwave photonics have developed rapidly. Among them, the instantaneous frequency measurement technology can obtain an extremely wide instantaneous bandwidth and is suitable for applications in occasions with high requirements for frequency bands and response speeds such as radar warning. However, its measurement error rate is relatively high when dealing with complex multi-frequency electromagnetic environments, and the frequency measurement accuracy is relatively low, making it difficult to achieve more accurate electromagnetic environment sensing. Summary of the Invention

The back-end optoelectronic processing module can be collected using a 250 MHz data acquisition card, reducing the sampling rate requirement of the back-end acquisition device and improving the single-shot measurement speed of the entire frequency band of the system (less than 1 s). The device is provided with functions of real-time measurement of the repetition frequency and real-time adjustment of the link optical power to ensure the accuracy and stability of system measurement, and greatly improve the environmental adaptability.

The output signals of the four photodetectors are connected to the low-pass filter through RF cables and then enter the ADC. The computer calculates the electromagnetic environment information based on the ADC sampling signals; the input end of the dual-channel optical power monitoring module is connected to 10% of the output lasers of the two 1:9 single-mode optical splitters, and the output end of the dual-channel optical power monitoring module is connected to the computer. The computer controls the output power of the two femtosecond pulse lasers based on the monitoring information of the dual-channel optical power monitoring module.

[0009] Further, the operating frequency band of the ultra-wideband fast electromagnetic environment perception device covers 1 MHz - 40 GHz, and the single measurement speed of the full frequency band is less than 1 s.

[0010] Further, the requirement for the two-way consistency of the two-way co-polarized electric field sensor is that the difference in the response function is less than 3 dB.

[0011] Further, it also includes two 53 MHz signal source modules, which are connected to the electro-optic modulator through the 53 MHz signal source modules to calibrate the real-time repetition frequency of the transmitted laser.

[0012] Further, an optical power adjustment module is provided inside the two femtosecond pulse lasers.

[0013] Further, it also includes several RS232 serial communication data lines. Based on the magnitude of the reflected optical power obtained in the optical power monitoring module, the computer controls the optical power adjustment modules of the two femtosecond pulse lasers through the RS232 serial communication data lines to adjust the output optical power. The perception method based on the ultra-wideband fast electromagnetic environment perception device includes the following steps:

[0014] S1: The two femtosecond pulse lasers simultaneously emit pulsed light. After passing through a 1:9 polarization-maintaining optical splitter, 90% of the laser enters the polarization-maintaining circulator, and 10% of the laser enters a 1 GHz electro-optic modulator.

[0015] S2: The 90% of the laser passes through the polarization-maintaining circulator and enters the front-end co-polarized electric field sensor. The surrounding electromagnetic environment is collected through the electric field sensor and is reflected back to the circulator. After being separated from the upstream light by the circulator, it enters channels 3 and 4 of the four-channel photodetector.

[0016] S3: The electrical signals output by the four-channel photodetector enter a 200 MHz low-pass filter and then are input into channels 3 and 4 of the shown ADC for sampling.

[0017] S4: The 10% of the laser enters the 1 GHz electro-optic modulator, and the electro-optic modulator is connected to the 53 MHz signal source module; the light output by the electro-optic modulator is connected to channels 1 and 2 of the photodetector, and the electrical signals output by the photodetector enter channels 1 and 2 of the ADC after passing through a 200 MHz low-pass filter.

[0018] S5: The computer obtains the reflected optical power from the optical power monitoring module through the RS232 serial communication data line and adjusts the output optical power of the two lasers through the RS232 serial communication data line to ensure that the optical power entering channels 3 and 4 of the photodetector is -4 dBm, so as to ensure the stability of the system output.

[0019] S6: Input the data of channels 1 - 4 of the ADC into a computer for spectrum calculation to obtain electromagnetic environment information.

[0020] Furthermore, the calculation method for obtaining electromagnetic environment information based on the multi-channel ADC in step S6 is as follows:

[0021] First, use channels 1 and 2 of the ADC to obtain the accurate repetition frequencies of two light sources, specifically as follows:

[0022] (1) Perform FFT on the data output from channels 1 and 2 of the ADC.

[0023] (2) Obtain the first frequency peak point f11 near 53MHz and the second frequency peak point f12 near 53MHz in channel 1. Then, the accurate real-time repetition frequency of the 213.226MHz repetition frequency femtosecond pulse laser is F1 = f11 + f12.

[0024] (3) Obtain the first frequency peak point f21 near 53MHz and the second frequency peak point f22 near 53MHz in channel 2. Then, the accurate real-time repetition frequency of the 216.495MHz repetition frequency femtosecond pulse laser is F2 = f21 + f22.

[0025] Then, process the output signals of channels 3 and 4 of the ADC to obtain the initial spectrum in the electromagnetic environment to be measured.

[0026] Finally, based on the repetition frequencies F1, F2 and the initial spectrum, recover the optical undersampling frequency through the remainder matching method, and then solve the frequency information of the electromagnetic signal to be measured.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art:

[0028] 1. The present invention uses a femtosecond pulse light source to undersample high-frequency signals, compresses electromagnetic signals from 1MHz to 40GHz within the range of 110MHz for reception, reduces the requirement for the sampling rate of the backend ADC, and a sampling rate of only 250MHz can meet the reception of signals within 40GHz.

[0029] 2. The present invention uses a 200MHz low-pass filter to filter the electro-optic conversion signal, filters out the electrical pulse signal converted by the light source pulse, and eliminates its influence on the system dynamic range.

[0030] 3. In order to avoid the influence of repetition frequency drift on the measurement accuracy of the system, the present invention uses a 53MHz signal generation module and a 1GHz electro-optic modulator to monitor the repetition frequency.

[0031] 4. The present invention realizes the stability of the system output by monitoring the optical power and regulating the output of the light source. Brief Description of the Drawings
