Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microwave photons, and in particular relates to a photon device and method for simultaneously measuring Doppler frequency shift and arrival angle. Background Art
[0002] Measuring the Doppler frequency shift (hereinafter referred to as DFS) and angle of arrival (hereinafter referred to as AOA) of microwave signals can be used to determine the radial velocity and position of the target, and is widely used in radar, electronic warfare and wireless communication systems. However, traditional electronic solutions are limited in bandwidth, electromagnetic interference and size. Fortunately, microwave photonic technology has the advantages of ultra-wideband, anti-electromagnetic interference, small size and light weight, providing a feasible way to overcome the bottlenecks faced by electronic methods.
[0003] In recent years, photonic schemes for simultaneous measurement of DFS and AOA have been proposed. X.Cao et al. realized the measurement of DFS and AOA based on a dual-channel photon mixer. DFS and AOA are obtained by measuring the frequency and phase difference of the intermediate frequency signals from the two paths. However, it is impossible to measure the angle where the direction of the echo signal is close to the normal direction of the receiving antenna. G. Li et al. used a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator with polarization division multiplexing to construct a dual-channel microwave photon mixer to expand the detection range of AOA. C. Huang et al. proposed a scheme using dual parallel dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulators and optical filters. The optical filter is used to select the required optical sideband signal, thereby realizing the measurement of DFS and AOA. The use of optical filters limits the measurement bandwidth of the system.
[0004] X. Li et al. used two Mach-Zehnder modulators to split the optical signal into two independent arms. DFS was obtained from the intermediate frequency signal. The AOA information was obtained by analyzing the phase information of the output waveform between the two arms. However, the phase information of the two independent optical signals is easily affected by the external environment, and it is difficult to obtain a stable time domain waveform, which brings challenges to the back-end waveform analysis.

[0019] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a photonic device for simultaneously measuring Doppler frequency shift and arrival angle proposed in an embodiment of the present invention includes a semiconductor laser 1, a first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2, a second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7, a first electric coupler 3, a second electric coupler 4, a 90° electric coupler 5, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6, a photodiode 8, and an electric spectrum analyzer 9.
[0021] Each of the dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators includes a Y-type optical beam splitter, a Y-type optical coupler, two sub-modulators and a main modulator; the two sub-modulators are intensity modulators, and the main modulator is an optical phase shifter. The first parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 and the second parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 each have an optical input port, two radio frequency input ports, an optical output port and three DC bias ports.
[0022] The output end of the semiconductor laser 1 is connected to the optical input port 21 of the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2; the transmission signal TS is divided into two paths through the first electrical coupler 3, one path is fed to the transmission antenna AT, and the other path is input to the input port of the second electrical coupler 4; the transmission signal TS and the reference signal RS are combined by the second electrical coupler 4 and enter the input end of the 90° electrical coupler 5; the two signals output from the 90° electrical coupler 5 are respectively loaded into the two RF input ports of the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2; the optical output port 21 of the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 2 is connected to the input end 61 of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6; the output end 62 of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6 is connected to the optical input port 71 of the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7; the first target echo ES1 received by the first receiving antenna AR1 and the second target echo ES2 received by the second receiving antenna AR2 at a distance d from the first receiving antenna AR1 are respectively loaded into the two RF input ports of the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7; the optical output port 72 of the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 is connected to the photodiode 8, and the output end of the photodiode 8 is connected to the electrical spectrum analyzer 9.
[0023] After the transmission signal TS and the reference signal RS are combined at the 90° electrical coupler 5, they enter the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2. The first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 operates in the optical carrier suppressed single sideband modulation mode. The transmission signal TS and the reference signal RS modulate the first optical carrier to generate two positive first (+1) order sideband signals. The two positive first order sideband signals are power amplified by the erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6, that is, after power compensation, they enter the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7, and are modulated by the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2 in the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7. The two sub-modulators of the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 are biased at the orthogonal point, and the main modulator thereof is biased at the maximum point. The modulated optical field signal output by the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 enters the photodiode 8 for photoelectric conversion to generate a down-converted electrical signal. The electrical spectrum analyzer 9 can obtain the size and direction of the Doppler frequency shift (DFS) by comparing the frequency of the down-converted electrical signal with the reference signal RS. By monitoring the power of the down-converted electrical signal, the angle of arrival (AOA) information of the target can be obtained.
[0024] The frequency of the reference signal in the present application can be much lower than the frequency of the transmission signal, thereby reducing the performance requirements of subsequent devices. For example, the frequency of the reference signal is 0~2GHz, for example, 1GHz and below, and the frequency of the transmission signal is 4~20GHz. The bandwidth of the photodiode is slightly larger than the frequency range of the reference signal, for example, 0~2.2GHz, and the frequency response is, for example, 0.8A / W. In addition to the photodiode 8, other devices can also be selected as photodetectors.
[0025] The principle of the photon device for simultaneously measuring Doppler frequency shift and arrival angle of the present invention is as follows: The transmission signal TS, the reference signal RS, the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2 can be expressed as: (1) in V t is the amplitude of the transmit signal TS, f t is the frequency of the transmitted signal TS, V r is the amplitude of the reference signal RS, f r is the frequency of the reference signal RS, V e is the amplitude of the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2, f e is the frequency of the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2, φis the phase difference between the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2; t represents any moment of the signal on the time axis and is a continuous variable used to describe the instantaneous value of the signal at different time points.
[0026] The first optical carrier CW1 emitted by the semiconductor laser 1 enters the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2; wherein, after the transmission signal TS and the reference signal RS are combined, they are injected into the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 through the 90° electrical coupler 5, and the output optical field of the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 It is expressed as: (2) Wherein, E0 is the amplitude of the first optical carrier, f0 is the frequency of the first optical carrier, β t =π V t / 2 V π and β r =π V r / 2 V π are the modulation coefficients of the transmit signal and the reference signal respectively. J n (.)yes n Bessel function of the first kind.
[0027] The two positive first-order sideband x signals generated by the first optical carrier CW1 modulated by the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 are composed of a gain of G The erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6 performs power compensation and enters the two sub-modulators of the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 as the second optical carrier CW2 and the third optical carrier CW3. The second optical carrier CW2 and the third optical carrier CW3 are modulated by the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2 respectively. The two sub-modulators and the main modulator of the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 work at the orthogonal point and the maximum point respectively, and the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 outputs an optical field It is expressed as: (3) in β e =π V e / 2 V πis the modulation coefficient of the echo signal, G is the gain of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6.
[0028] The down-converted electrical signal generated by the photodiode 8 is: (4) in, , the Doppler shift is ; R is the photodiode responsivity.
[0029] From formula (4), the normalized power P of the down-converted electrical signal is obtained as (5) Therefore, the Doppler frequency shift and the phase difference between the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2 are obtained by formula (4) and (5), and the arrival angle is calculated by combining formula (6): (AOA).
[0030] (6) The electric spectrum analyzer 9 is used as a signal analysis unit to obtain the Doppler frequency shift and the arrival angle. The required Doppler frequency shift and arrival angle can be obtained by configuring the electric spectrum analyzer 9 according to the above principle. It should be understood that in addition to the electric spectrum analyzer 9, a vector signal analyzer, an oscilloscope with fast Fourier transform (FFT) or a network analyzer can also be used as a signal analysis unit to calculate the Doppler frequency shift and arrival angle. .
[0031] In some embodiments, the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator and the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator respectively include a Y-type optical beam splitter, a Y-type optical coupler, two sub-modulators and a main modulator; wherein the two sub-modulators are intensity modulators and the main modulator is an optical phase shifter.
[0032] To verify that the present invention can simultaneously measure Doppler frequency shift and angle of arrival, the following is a description of experimental verification.
[0033] In the experiment, the wavelength of the continuous optical carrier output by semiconductor laser 1 is set to 1548.934nm and the power is set to 13dBm. The transmission signal, reference signal, first echo signal ES1 and second echo signal ES2 are generated by the signal source. The transmission signal frequency is set to 18 GHz and the power is 12dBm; the reference signal frequency is set to 1GHz and the power is 10dBm; the first echo signal frequency is set to 18.001GHz and the power is 10 dBm, and the second echo signal frequency is set to 17.999 GHz and the power is 10dBm. An electrical phase shifter is used to adjust the phase difference between the first echo signal ES1 and the second echo signal ES2.
[0034] Figure 2 Figure 1 shows the spectrum measured when the echo signal is set to 18.001 GHz. It can be seen that the down-converted electrical signal is generated at 1.001 GHz, which is greater than the frequency of the reference signal, indicating that the DFS is +1 MHz. Similarly, when the echo signal is changed to 17.999 GHz, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the down-converted electrical signal is located at 0.999 GHz, which is lower than 1 GHz, indicating that the DFS is -1 MHz and the spurious suppression ratio is still higher than 36 dB.
[0035] The DFS and error measured by the device at different frequencies were further studied. During the measurement, the resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth and span of the ESA 9 were set to 1 Hz, 1 Hz and 80 Hz. Figure 4 As shown, when the reference signal is set to 1 GHz, the measured DFS result is very close to the theoretical value. The DFS error measured by the device of the present invention fluctuates within a small range of ±0.1 Hz.
[0036] Figure 5 The experimental and theoretical results of AOA are shown. It can be seen that the designed device achieves AOA measurement from 0° to 90°. The AOA measurement error of the device proposed in the present invention is within ±1.2°.
[0037] The solution proposed in the embodiment of the present application only requires a photodiode (PD) to complete the measurement of DFS and AOA, reducing the requirement for PD bandwidth. At the same time, no optical filter and polarization control device are required, which improves the measurement stability of the system.
[0038] Some other embodiments of the present application also provide a method for simultaneously measuring Doppler frequency shift and angle of arrival, which is implemented based on the above-mentioned photonic device for simultaneously measuring Doppler frequency shift and angle of arrival, and the method comprises the following steps: allowing the continuous optical carrier generated by the semiconductor laser 1 to enter the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2; the transmission signal and the reference signal enter the 90° electrical coupler 5 after being combined; the two signals output by the 90° electrical coupler 5 are respectively loaded into the two RF ports of the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2; the first dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 2 uses carrier suppressed single sideband modulation to generate two positive first-order sideband signals; the two positive first-order sideband signals are sent to the erbium-doped fiber amplifier 6 for power amplification; The two amplified positive first-order sideband signals are respectively sent to the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 as two optical carriers; the target echoes received by the two receiving antennas are respectively loaded into the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 for modulating the two optical carriers; the two sub-modulators of the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 work at the orthogonal point, and the main modulator works at the maximum point; the optical signal output by the second dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator 7 enters the photodiode 8 for beat frequency to generate a down-converted electrical signal; the frequency of the down-converted electrical signal and the frequency of the reference signal are analyzed by the electrical spectrum analyzer 9 to obtain the size and direction of the Doppler frequency shift; the arrival angle is estimated by monitoring the power of the down-converted electrical signal.
[0039] In summary, the present invention proposes a photonic device and method for simultaneously measuring DFS and AOA. In this scheme, only a low-frequency PD of 1 GHz is required to complete the measurement of DFS and AOA, which reduces the requirement for PD bandwidth. At the same time, no optical filter and polarization control device are required, which improves the measurement stability of the system. The designed measurement scheme is expected to be applied to fields such as radar and electronic warfare.
