Abstract
In this article, a linear frequency modulation continuous wave (LFMCW) radar range jamming system based on microwave photonic link is proposed and demonstrated, which has a simple structure, wide operation band, and high consistency. The most important part of the system is the microwave photonic phase shifter (MPPS) composed of a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), dc voltage drive module, and photodetector (PD), whose main function is to modulate the LFM signal in time domain with periodic rectangular bias. By periodically configuring the biased voltage of MZM at positive and negative quadrature bias points ($\pm Q$ ), the MPPS can achieve a 180° phase shift of RF signal after PD detection. Subsequently, theoretical analyses and simulations are conducted to show the effective range jamming capability of the time-domain modulated LFM signal on LFMCW radar. Finally, the experiments demonstrate that the MPPS has excellent in-band consistency in 1–10 GHz, and the jamming performance of the system is satisfactory on a commercial X-band LFMCW radar. The proposed system features a wide operational bandwidth and low complexity compared with other jamming systems.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques focuses on that part of engineering and theory associated with microwave/millimeter-wave components, devices, circuits, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, and industrial, activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves usually in the frequency region between a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the Society whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
