We propose a photonic-assisted single system for measuring the frequency and phase noise of microwave signals in a large spectral range. Both the frequency and phase noise to be measured are extracted from the phase difference between the signal under testing and its replica delayed by a span of fiber and a variable optical delay line (VODL). The system calibration, frequency measurement, and phase noise measurement are performed by adjusting the VODL at different working modes. Accurate frequency and phase noise measurement for microwave signals in a large frequency range from 5 to 50 GHz is experimentally demonstrated.

在相干光通信系统中,激光器相位噪声是影响接收机灵敏度的重要因素。针对相干光通信中的激光光源相位噪声测试提出并研究了表征激光器相位噪声的3个关键指标,分别是电场的功率谱密度、相位误差方差和FM噪声谱线,建立了基于延时自零差相干接收技术的窄线宽激光器相位噪声测试系统,实现了系统仿真,并对一窄线宽激光器进行了相位噪声测试,相比传统的自外差线宽测量技术,此方法在满足测试分辨率要求的同时能够更全面表征激光器相位噪声特性。
