Abstract

In case implementation of microwave photonic (MWP) systems for phased array radars (PARs), noise and time delay error should be minimized to obtain accurate beam direction. Time delay error in MWP systems is generated from signal noise and timing jitter. In this paper, noise and timing jitter in MWP systems for PAR is researched, also according to the amplification of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, noise and timing jitter variation is verified by an experiment. Timing jitter is decreased and SNR is increased if we amplify the signal by using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, up to the amplification rate of signal and noise is similar.

위상배열 레이다를 위한 마이크로웨이브 포토닉 (MWP) 시스템을 구현할 경우, 송수신되는 빔의 정확도를 위해서 잡음 및 시간 지연 오차는 최소화 되어야 한다. MWP 시스템에서의 시간 지연 오차는 신호의 잡음에 의해 발생하고 timing jitter에 기인한다. 본 논문에서는 위상배열 레이다를 위한 MWP 시스템에서의 잡음 및 timing jitter에 대하여 분석하였고 광 증폭기의 이득변화에 따른 잡음 및 timing jitter 변화를 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 광 증폭기에 의한 신호의 증폭율과 잡음의 증폭율이 동일할 때까지 신호를 증폭하면 timing jitter는 감소하고 신호의 SNR은 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.
