Abstract
We propose a photonics-assisted equivalent frequency sampling (EFS) method to analyze the instantaneous frequency of broadband linearly frequency modulated (LFM) microwave signals. The proposed EFS method is implemented by a photonic scanning receiver, which is operated with a frequency scanning rate slightly different from the repetition rate of the LFM signals. Compared with the broadband LFM signal analysis based on temporal sampling, the proposed method avoids the use of high-speed analog to digital converters, and the instantaneous frequency acquisition realized by frequency-to-time mapping is also simplified since real-time Fourier transformation is not required. Feasibility of the proposed method is verified through an experiment, in which frequency analysis of Kα-band LFM signals with a bandwidth up to 3 GHz is demonstrated with a moderate sampling rate of 100 MSa/s. The proposed method is highly demanded for analyzing the instantaneous frequency of broadband LFM signals used in radar and electronic warfare systems.
