The application discloses a
microwave multi-dimensional parameter measurement
system and method based on differential frequency-time mapping. In the
system, after optical pulses pass through an input end dispersion medium to complete pulse expansion, the optical pulses enter a
Sagnac loop. Meanwhile, after a
microwave signal to be measured is branched by a
radio frequency power divider, the
microwave signal to be measured is input into two Mach-Zehnder modulators in the loop to modulate the optical pulses. An adjustable
optical delay line is arranged between the first Mach-Zehnder modulator and an
optical coupler. The modulated optical pulses output by the loop pass through an output end dispersion medium to realize frequency-time mapping, and map the spectrum information to the
time domain. After the optical
signal is converted into an
electric signal by a photoelectric
detector, the
electric signal is converted into a
digital signal by an analog-to-
digital converter and is input into a
digital signal processor, so that the time, frequency, amplitude and phase information of the microwave signal to be measured are obtained. The application avoids the problems of
narrow bandwidth, high loss and poor adjustability of an electronic
delay line, and can simultaneously perform high-precision measurement on the time, frequency, amplitude and phase of a multi-carrier microwave signal.
