  • An approach based on an integrated photonic Ti:LiNbO3 Y branch has been proposed, designed, and analyzed for the microwave instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM). By designing the Y branch with length L = 6545 ㎛ and refractive index NTE - NTM = 0.0764, a complementary optical filter with free spectral range (FSR) of 600 GHz is constituted, which results in a maximum measureable frequency of 300 GHz being obtained. Theoretical analysis on the temperature stability of the Ti:LiNbO3 Y branch shows that the FSR variation of the complementary filter is 0.3% for the temperature change of 100 K, which indicates that the IFM approach will have a better stability. All these results demonstrate that the proposed IFM approach has potential capability to be used for the increasingly higher microwave IFM with better stability.

  • Frequency-multiplication technology based on microwave photonic principles can be used to generate microwave and millimeter wave signals with a wide frequency tuning range. However, the existing cascaded external modulation frequency-tupling scheme needs to ensure the phase coherence of the modulated Radio Frequency (RF) signal, while the phase modulation directly limits the frequency tuning range of the external modulation frequency multiplication. In this paper, a novel approach for generating an incoherent frequency 12-tupling signal with cascade modulation is proposed. The structure of cascaded dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators can generate a frequency 12-tupling signal. The proposed structure uses no filter or phase control of the RF driving signal. Microwave photonic frequency-tupling was realized under incoherent conditions. Software simulations and experiments validated the proposed structure and proved that it can generate frequency 12-tupling microwave signals under incoherent conditions. Both the frequency range and reliability of the frequency-tupling system has been improved by the proposed structure.

  • We propose a transverse load sensor with reconfigurable measurement accuracy based on a microwave photonic filter in the $K_u$ band, incorporating a polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating. A prototype sensor with a reconfigurable measurement accuracy tuning range from 6.09 to 9.56 GHz/(N/mm), and corresponding minimal detectable load range from 0.0167 to 0.0263 N/mm, is experimentally demonstrated. The results illustrate that up to 40% manufacturing error in the grating length can be dynamically calibrated to the same corresponding measurement accuracy for the proposed transverse load sensor, by controlling the semiconductor optical amplifier's injection current in the range of 154 to 419 mA.

  • 본 논문에서는 코히런트하게 결합되는 폴리머 마이크로링 공진기를 이용한 광학적 방식의 마이크로웨이브 대역통과 필터를 제안하고 구현하였다. 제안된 소자는 소형이며 구조가 간단하고, 열광학 및 전기광학 효과를 통한 중심주파수 변화가 용이하고, 그리고 다른 전기소자나 광소자와의 집적성 등이 뛰어나다. 특히, 이 공진기는 마이크로웨이브 신호를 수반하는 광신호를 효과적으로 필터링하기 위해 아주 작은 대역폭을 갖도록 설계되었다. 본 논문에서는 한 개의 링과 두 개의 링으로 구성된 공진기를 각각 제작하여 특성을 확인하였다. 링 공진기의 측정된 전달 특성을 이론적으로 fitting하였으며, 이로부터 제안된 마이크로웨이브 필터의 특성을 정확하게 예측하였다. 공진기의 링 수가 증가할수록 대역폭은 감소하고 롤오(roll-off) 특성이 향상되며 대역 소멸비가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 측정된 대역통과 필터의 중심주파수는 $\~10GHz$였고 3-dB 대역폭은 $\~0GHz$였다. 그리고 Q값(quality factor)은 $\~10$이었고 통과대역의 소멸비는 약 25dB였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 DSL(Descended Signal Line)을 이용한 새로운 다층의 PBG 구조를 제안하였다. 측정 결과로부터 DSL을 이용한 제안된 PBG 구조는 일반적인 다층의 DGS 구조에 비하여 크기면에서 72 % 감소하였고 대역폭에서 13 % 증가하였다. 또한 EGP(Elevated Ground Plane)를 이용한 PBG 구조와 비교하면 제안된 구조는 크기가 42 % 감소하였고 대역폭이 23 % 증가하였다. 그리고 조작된 6 개의 PBG 구조들을 측정한 결과, 모든 패턴들이 동일한 차단주파수와 함께 저지대역 특성을 지님을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안된 구조는 삽입손실이 20 ㏈인 20 ㎓에서 모든 패턴이 300 MHz 이하의 매우 정확한 오차(tolerance)를 가짐으로써 소형의 마이크로파 집적 회의나 모듈 개발에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

  • A simplified, practical vector network analyzer (VNA) that uses mature radio-over-fiber technology has been designed and demonstrated. The measurement concept allows the full S-parameters of a microwave device (or antenna) to be obtained while minimizing the detrimental effects of electrical cables, which are replaced with a photonic link. A variety of high-frequency light modulation schemes with frequency sweeping capabilities are presented to realize a one-path (single, forward), frequency-multiplied optical link for VNA applications. Using the photonic one-path link, full two-port S-parameters have been extracted based on five-term error modeling, which has half the error terms compared with the standard duplex configuration. The S-parameters of a microwave filter and antenna measured using frequency-multiplied optical links are found to be in good agreement with those obtained using a conventional VNA.
