Description

The commonly used methods include traditional delay lines and digital RF storage. Traditional delay lines mainly include coaxial cables, mercury delay lines, etc., which generally have the problems of narrow working frequency band and short delay time; digital RF storage is processed by converting the signal from the analog domain to the digital domain, but due to the problems that the instantaneous bandwidth of digital RF storage is proportional to the sampling frequency, the dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter or the digital-to-analog converter determines the dynamic range of the input signal, and the sampling and quantization process of digital storage frequency leads to a long response time. In addition, due to the limitations of the sampling theorem, digital RF storage is difficult to process broadband signals, and microwave signals need to be up-converted and down-converted during operation, which makes the final system more complex.

[0057] The following will specifically explain the delay and storage process of the RF signal using the broadband RF delay storage device provided by the present disclosure in conjunction with Figures 2-5.

[0058] In this embodiment, the operating frequency of the broadband RF delay storage device covers 2 to 18 GHz. The operating wavelength of the laser in the electro-optical conversion module is 1550 nm, and the corresponding frequency f0 is 193.1 THz. The laser outputs an optical carrier with a power of 16 dBm, and the optical carrier is a continuous wave signal.

[0059] Figure 2A The structure diagram of a 1*2 magneto-optical switch according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. Figure 2B The structural diagram of a 2*2 magneto-optical switch according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0060] In this embodiment, the optical fiber delay module consists of a 1*2 optical switch, three 2*2 optical switches, four sections of delay optical fiber and a combiner. The optical switches are all magneto-optical switches. The delay times corresponding to the four sections of delay optical fiber are 0.5μs, 1μs, 2μs and 4μs respectively. Figure 2A As shown in the figure, the 1*2 magneto-optical switch has one input terminal and two output terminals. When the control voltage is at a low level (the level value is 0), the output is from output port 1; when the control voltage is at a high level (the level value is 1), the output is from output port 2. Figure 2BAs shown, the 2*2 magneto-optical switch has two inputs and two outputs. When the control voltage is at a low level (level value is 0), input port 1 is connected to output port 1, and input port 2 is connected to output port 2. When the control voltage is at a high level (level value is 1), input port 1 is connected to output port 2, and input port 2 is connected to output port 1.

[0062]

[0063] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the detector output signal spectrum according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the working bandwidth of the detector in the photoelectric conversion module is 18 GHz. The detector performs photoelectric conversion on the delayed optical modulation signal and outputs the obtained photoelectric conversion signal to the filter circuit. The photoelectric conversion signal contains 5 GHz and high-order harmonic signals. The spectrum diagram of the photoelectric conversion signal is shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0064] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the signal spectrum output by the filter in the 4.2GHz~6.1GHz channel system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown. In this embodiment, the filter circuit and the amplifier circuit filter, amplify and condition the input photoelectric conversion signal, and output a 5GHz compensated amplified RF signal to the power divider. Among them, the filter circuit adopts a pass filter group, including 5 channels of 2GHz~3GHz, 2.7GHz~4.5GHz, 4.2GHz~6.1GHz, 5.8GHz~10GHz, and 9.5GHz~18.5GHz, so as to filter out high-order harmonic signals in the photoelectric conversion signal. The 4.2GHz~6.1GHz channel is selected for filtering, and the schematic diagram of the spectrum of the filtered RF signal is shown in Figure 4 shown.

[0065] Figure 5The schematic diagram shows the simulation result of the delayed RF signal in the time domain waveform according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the amplifier circuit provides a low-noise amplification of not less than 30dB, and the power divider divides the compensating amplified RF signal into a delayed RF signal and a circulating RF signal. Compared with the received preset RF signal, the signal-to-noise ratio of the delayed RF signal and the circulating RF signal divided by the power divider are reduced, but the power and frequency of the delayed RF signal and the circulating RF signal are basically consistent with the preset RF signal. In practical applications, the on-state of the switch in the optoelectronic conversion module can be controlled according to the needs of the user, and the circulating RF signal can be fed back to the RF power control module at a specific number of times to achieve circulation and storage. When the signal-to-noise ratio of the delayed RF signal meets the basic requirements, the number of cycles should not exceed 70 times. When 10 cycles are performed, the delay range of the closed-loop optoelectronic loop is 0 to 65μs, and the delay step is 6.5μs. The delayed RF signal output after 10 cycles is simulated using simulation software, and the resulting time domain waveform is as shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.
