Abstract

Photonic generation and processing of high-frequency and large-bandwidth microwave arbitrary waveforms have become an increasingly important area that can find numerous applications, such as in ultrawide-band (UWB) communication systems, radar, and other warfare systems, and the quality directly decides the system performance. Based on the microwave photonic channelization, arbitrary waveforms were generated through dual optical frequency combs (OFCs) with different free spectrum ranges (FSR). Due to the multiple optical channels with tunable amplitude and phase, the fundamental and higher harmonics are generated simultaneously and used to synthesize into the required waveforms. Combining the advantages of low-loss broadband photonics and microwave with fine narrowband control, the proposed channelized synthesis arbitrary waveform overcomes the electronic bottleneck of ultra-wideband analog processing and opens up a whole new solution to microwave signal generation. The simulation experiment system based on Optisystem software is conducted, the results confirm that an arbitrary wave, such as triangular, square, and sawtooth will be generated by adjusting the channel parameters, and the accuracy of the generated waveforms can be improved by introducing the fifth Fourier component. Compared to the waveform synthesized by the third-order harmonic, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the fifth-order harmonic is increased by 17%-20%.
