Problems solved by technology

Among them, the frequency-space mapping method realizes the measurement of the microwave frequency by mapping the microwave frequency to different positions or channels in the space. The frequency-time mapping method is to use the principle that different microwave frequency components obtain different delays after passing through the same dispersion medium, and obtain the microwave frequency to be measured by calculating the relative delay. The measurement range and measurement accuracy are the same as the selected dispersion The medium is related and mutually restricted; the microwave frequency measurement technology based on the frequency-amplitude mapping method maps the microwave frequency and the received microwave or light wave power. This scheme has good reconfigurability, and the frequency measurement accuracy reaches 0.2 GHz, but it also faces the problem of mutual constraints between the measurement frequency range and accuracy, and at the same time, this solution cannot measure multi-tone signals
Recently, some scholars have proposed the use of optical frequency comb mixing technology (G.Q.Hu, T.Mizuguchi, X.Zhao, T.Minamikawa, T.Mizuno, Y.L.Yang, C.Li, M.Bai, Z.Zheng, and T. Yasui, "Measurement of absolute frequency of continuous-wave terahertzradiation in real time using a free-running, dual-wavelength mode-locked, erbium-doped fiber laser," Sci.Rep.7, 42082(2017)), by analyzing the minimum Mixing frequency components realizes the measurement of the microwave frequency to be measured. This scheme has the advantages of wide measurement frequency range, high measurement accuracy and real-time measurement. However, this scheme has measurement blind spots, requires two or more optical frequency combs, and cannot realize multi-tone Disadvantages of Microwave Measurements

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave photonics, and in particular relates to an instantaneous microwave frequency measurement technology based on dispersion Fourier transform time stretching frequency reduction. Background technique [0002] Microwave / millimeter wave technology is more and more widely used in national defense technology, microwave communication, industrial and agricultural production, and daily life, especially in the fields of electronic warfare, radar early warning, wireless communication and space communication. As microwave operating frequencies in various application fields gradually expand to high frequency bands (even as high as 300 GHz), due to the limitation of electronic bottlenecks and instantaneous bandwidth, the real-time measurement and analysis of microwave signals using traditional electronic domain frequency measurement technology appears to be powerless. It is particularly important to develop the correspon...
