摘要
In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a radar signal distribution over optical networks. The use of fiber enables us to distribute radar signals to distant sites with a low power loss. Moreover, fiber networks can reduce the radar system cost, by sharing precise and expensive radar signal generation and processing equipment. In order to overcome the bandwidth challenges in electrical switches, a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used as an all-optical device for wavelength conversion to the desired port (or channel) of a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network. Moreover, the effect of chromatic dispersion in double sideband (DSB) signals is combated by generating optical single sideband (OSSB) signals. The optimal values of the SOA device parameters required to generate an OSSB with a high sideband suppression ratio (SSR) are determined. We considered various parameters such as injection current, pump power, and probe power. In addition, the effect of signal wavelength conversion and transmission over fiber are studied in terms of signal dynamic range. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
