A
microwave photon frequency-hopping transmission and reception
system comprises a dual-band, dual-frequency cascaded
optical frequency comb module, a transmission carrier generation and
signal modulation module, a
radio frequency transmission module, an orthogonal optical sampling
clock generation module, an electro-optical sampling and orthogonal demultiplexing module, a
radio frequency reception module, an optoelectronic conversion and digital
processing module, and a synchronization and control module. In the frequency-hopping transmission portion, the communication
signal is loaded onto the optical carrier via carrier-suppressed single-
sideband modulation. The beat frequency of the optical carrier and the
optical comb teeth selected by the
optical switch generates an
RF transmission signal carrying the communication signal. Rapid switching of the
optical switch enables rapid, flexible, and wide-range switching of the transmission carrier frequency. In the frequency-hopping reception portion, the
optical comb teeth are selected by the
optical switch to generate an orthogonal optical sampling
clock. Rapid switching of the optical switch enables rapid, flexible, and wide-range switching of the
center frequency of the receiving
passband. Flexible configuration of the frequency-hopping reception
passband bandwidth is achieved by varying the
filter bandwidth.
