The invention discloses a
microwave photon frequency hopping
signal generation method based on double optical combs, and relates to the technical field of microwaves and the field of
optical communication. The method is shown in a figure 1 in the specification, and comprises a
laser, an
optical coupler, a
signal source, a
radio frequency source, a Mach-Zehnder modulator, a double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator, an optical band-pass filter, an
optical switch, an
erbium-doped
optical fiber amplifier, a double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator, a 90-degree bridge, a photoelectric
detector and a transmitting antenna. According to the invention, an electro-
optical modulator is utilized to generate an
optical frequency comb and modulate a frequency hopping
local oscillator signal in an upper path, a double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator is utilized to shift frequency in a lower
branch, then the electro-
optical modulator is utilized to generate the
optical frequency comb, the upper path and the lower path are combined, channels where different optical frequency combs are located are separated through an
optical filter, different channels are selected through an
optical switch, and the frequency hopping
local oscillator signal is modulated. And finally, a frequency hopping signal is obtained through a photoelectric
detector. According to the invention, large-bandwidth and high-precision frequency hopping signal generation can be realized, and the requirement on an
optical filter is reduced.
