“…Recently, numerous approaches based on MWP have been proposed [4]. In general, there are roughly three different types of microwave photonic frequency measurement schemes, which are based on time-domain scanning [5]- [12], photonic-assisted channelization [13]- [18] systems and frequency-to-power mapping [19]- [38].…”

“…The main idea of the frequency-to-power mapping systems is to map the frequency of the microwave signal to microwave power [19]- [26] or optical power [27]- [38]. Once a unique relationship between the frequency and the power is established, the frequency value can be indirectly obtained by measuring the power value.…”

“…However, for optical power mapping system, only low-cost low-speed PDs are needed, which can reduce the system cost effectively. Such schemes are usually implemented by optical mixing [27]- [31] or optical filtering [32]- [38]. In the optical mixing scheme, the system is complex and bulky, and the measurement error is usually large.…”

“…In Ref. [38], an add-drop optical ring resonator (ORR) was used as the filter chip, which can achieve measurements with a RMSE of 63MHz in frequency range of 0.1~5GHz or measurements with a RMSE of about 240MHz in range of 0.5~35GHz. However, high-precision measurement and large bandwidth measurement were implemented with two different chips.…”

A microwave frequency measurement system based on a ring assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer (RAMZI) with a large measurement range and high accuracy is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By using single-sideband modulation, the microwave signal with unknown frequency is converted to an optical sideband signal, which is used to probe the two complementary output optical powers of the ring-assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer, then a fixed frequency-to-power mapping is established by obtaining a highly linear amplitude comparison function (ACF). High-precision frequency measurement with a root mean square error (RMSE) of less than 30MHz was achieved in a frequency range of 5.2GHz, and relative low-precision frequency measurement with a RMSE of less than 102MHz was achieved in a frequency range of 11GHz. Besides, in order to break the trade-off between measurement range and measurement accuracy, a multi-band measurement method was implemented and frequency measurement range of 5~39 GHz with RMSE lower than 37MHz was achieved.

et al. 2022

In this paper, a novel and efficient photonic-assisted remote frequency measurement (RFM) system with a significantly simplified structure and flexible operation range is proposed. By simply changing the dispersion coefficient or length of the dispersion medium in the central station (CS), the microwave frequency measurement range in the remote antenna unit (RAU) can be tuned. In this system, the RAU and the CS is separated to ensure the concealment and safety of the signal processing unit. The measurement range of the RFM system can be tuned easily during the measurement process without system reconstruction, and different RAUs located at different places can be controlled to work at the same measurement range. The simulation results show that a frequency measurement over the high frequency range (>18 GHz) can be achieved with a measurement error better than ±0.2 GHz. Noteworthy, the impact of the non-ideal factors such as bias drift, intensity noise, phase noise, the equivalent deviation of the polarization beam splitter (PBS), and the dispersion value of the single mode fiber (SMF) is also discussed. It has been proved that they have little influence on the system performance over the high frequency range.
