The signal detection device adopts a method for building a photoelectric oscillation ring cavity to generate a chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio-frequency signal, the chaotic state of the photoelectric oscillator of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio-frequency signal is a critical state between oscillation starting and non-oscillation starting, namely the open-loop gain of an OEO (namely a photoelectric oscillator) is close to 1, the oscillation mode is about to appear, and the chaotic state OEO is a nonlinear delay feedback loop. When a radio-frequency signal is injected into the OEO, the in-loop gain of the photoelectric oscillation ring cavity is increased, the oscillation starting frequency is locked by the injected signal, and energy is concentrated towards the central frequency of oscillation starting, so that the weak signal amplification function is realized.
As shown in fig. 2, in the signal detection device, after a polarization direction of an optical carrier emitted by a laser is adjusted by a polarization controller (i.e., the optical carrier signal is adjusted in polarization state to obtain an optical carrier signal after the polarization state is adjusted), the optical carrier signal after the polarization state is adjusted is input to a mach-zehnder modulator, and the mach-zehnder modulator outputs a modulated optical signal, and a delay is generated by a long single-mode optical fiber to obtain a delayed optical signal. The chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signal is divided into two chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signals (namely two chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signals) through a coupler (namely an optical beam splitter), one chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signal is input into a spectrum analyzer so that the spectrum analyzer can analyze the chaotic optical signal state of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signal, the other chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signal is connected with a photoelectric detector, and the photoelectric detector can beat the chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signal to generate a radio frequency signal. The method comprises the steps that a generated radio frequency signal is amplified through a gain-adjustable radio frequency amplifier (namely, a frequency-adjustable radio frequency amplifier) to obtain an amplified radio frequency signal, the amplified radio frequency signal is divided into two paths of amplified radio frequency signals through a radio frequency beam splitter, one path of the amplified radio frequency signal is input into a radio frequency analyzer and used for observing the state of an electric chaotic signal of the amplified radio frequency signal, so that the bias voltage of a Mach-Zehnder modulator and the gain of the frequency-adjustable radio frequency amplifier can be adjusted in an auxiliary mode, and the other path of the amplified radio frequency signal is fed back and injected into the Mach-Zehnder modulator after passing through a low-noise amplifier, so that link closed loop is completed. Because the chaotic state of the photoelectric oscillator of the radio-frequency signal of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator is a nonlinear modulation state of the MZM, the requirements on the flatness and the frequency response bandwidth of a device are high, and the flatness of the frequency-adjustable radio-frequency amplifier in a link is required to be relatively flat.
The signal detection device realizes the receiving and amplification of weak radar signals through an injection locking effect, and increases the bandwidth range of detectable signals by using a small signal receiver frequency tuning technology. Because the frequency response of the tunable fiber Bragg grating in the chaotic state is greatly influenced by the bandwidth and the unevenness of each device in the system, the working bandwidth of the tunable fiber Bragg grating is difficult to be widened, and the generated radio frequency signal of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator is generally 300-800MHz. If the system is used in an electromagnetic environment with a larger frequency range span, a tunable fiber Bragg grating with adjustable bandwidth can be designed. In combination with a frequency instantaneous measurement scheme, the frequency of an estimated incident signal in an environment is determined, and then a tunable fiber Bragg grating with the bandwidth exceeding 500MHz is formed in a ring cavity (namely, the frequency estimation device and the signal detection device), so that the receiving and amplifying functions of a target signal (namely a weak signal) in a larger frequency range are achieved. A scheme of a frequency-tunable photoelectric oscillator is combined, a tuning scheme of an OEO working frequency band in a chaotic state is provided, the characteristic that the central frequency of reflected light of a tunable fiber Bragg grating changes along with the length of the reflected light is utilized, a frequency-tunable chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio-frequency signal is generated in a loop, and the scheme principle is shown in figure 2.
After an optical carrier signal sent by the laser passes through the polarization controller, the Mach-Zehnder modulator, the single-mode optical fiber and the tunable fiber Bragg grating, a radio-frequency chaotic signal fed back in a loop is modulated onto the optical carrier to obtain a chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio-frequency signal, at the moment, the Mach-Zehnder modulator works on a minimum bias point, and a central carrier is suppressed. Modulated optical signals output by the Mach-Zehnder modulator pass through a single-mode optical fiber to obtain delayed optical signals, the delayed optical signals can be transmitted to a circulator in the tunable optical fiber Bragg grating, the delayed optical signals enter a reflecting end (port 2 in the figure 2) from an input end (port 1 in the figure 2) of the tunable optical fiber Bragg grating and then exit, radio-frequency signals of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator reflected by the tunable optical fiber Bragg grating enter an output end (port 3 in the figure 2) from the reflecting end (port 2 in the figure 2), and the radio-frequency signals of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator enter an OEO (namely, a ring cavity formed by a frequency estimation device and a signal detection device). When a difference exists between a first-order sideband in a reflected chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio-frequency signal and a first-order sideband directly modulated to output light (namely an optical carrier signal) of the laser, the photoelectric detector generates a radio-frequency signal with the frequency equal to the frequency difference of the first-order sideband and the second-order sideband through a beat frequency effect. The radio frequency signal is amplified by the frequency-adjustable radio frequency amplifier and then fed back to the radio frequency beam splitter, the radio frequency analyzer and the low noise amplifier to complete the whole loop. When the knob on the tunable fiber Bragg grating is adjusted, the length of the grating is changed, and the wavelength of the reflected light is changed. The single-mode fiber can increase the delay of the whole loop, thereby improving the quality factor of the output radio frequency signal. Therefore, unknown weak radar signals can be detected in a large frequency range with high sensitivity, the detection bandwidth is larger than that of a traditional electronic method, the detection sensitivity is high, and weak signals of-70 dBm can be detected.
It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present application provides a signal detection system, the system including: frequency estimation means and signal detection means; the output end of the frequency pre-estimating device is connected with the input end of the signal detecting device; the frequency pre-estimating device is used for generating a plurality of optical carrier signals; determining a plurality of radio frequency signals according to the plurality of light carrier signals; obtaining the frequency of an estimated incident signal according to the radio frequency signals; outputting the frequency of the estimated incident signal through the output terminal; the signal detection device is used for acquiring the frequency of the estimated incident signal through the input end and generating an optical carrier signal; generating a chaotic photoelectric oscillator radio frequency signal according to the estimated frequency of the incident signal and the optical carrier signal; and detecting a target signal by using the radio frequency signal of the chaotic photoelectric oscillator.
