“…JRR reconnoiters and analyzes the surrounding electromagnetic jamming environment of radar, furnishes radar with the relevant jamming information intercepted, provides basis for radar to take the corresponding anti-jamming measures. The JRR usually adopts channelized structure, and this structure has high probability of interception, high sensitivity, large dynamic range, high frequency resolution and other characteristics, and is widely used in reconnaissance receivers [6] [7].…”

This paper presents a channelized jamming reconnaissance receiver, and analyzed false response, amplitude response and temperature drift, which influence the performance of channelized receiver. For the sake of interchangeableness, we divided the receiver into RF assembly and IF assembly, then compensated each assembly independently and estimated system error. At last, we tested the receiver under assemblies (spare parts) interchanged situations at different temperatures. The results show that both absolute and relative accuracy reach ± 2dB. The purpose of cutting down spare parts and improving maintainability, supportability, reliability has been achieved.

“…The OEO does have applications in analog systems beyond simply being a low noise RF source. One such application is the detection of low power RF signals in a cluttered environment, which is important in applications ranging from radio astronomy [90] to RF channelization [91]. Imagine a wide frequency spectrum containing multiple RF signals, all with varying powers as shown in Figure 16.…”

The Optoelectronic Oscillator (OEO) was first demonstrated in 1996 as a low phase noise RF source. Low phase noise RF sources have uses for multiple applications, ranging from analog to digital converters to radar to metrology. In the past sixteen years, the OEO has been shown to be useful for other signal processing applications. This paper will provide a background of the OEO's principles of operation, as well as multiple examples of signal processing applications where the OEO can be used. The OEO can be applied to both analog and digital problems, providing new techniques to solve these challenges.

For many applications, ranging from commercial, surveillance, or defense, it is essential to analyze the frequency components of a captured microwave signal over a wide bandwidth in real time and with high resolution. Various photonic approaches have been proposed for the processing of wideband microwave signals in order to overcome limitations imposed by conventional electronic frequency measurements. Here, we present the performance analysis and characterization of a parametric channelized receiver with 275 MHz resolution defined by the Fabry-Perot 3 dB bandwidth and 1 GHz step. Our approach relies on the generation of high quality copies of the RF input by self-seeding wavelength multicasting in a two-pump parametric mixer. Periodic filtering using off-the-shelf elements is then performed on the multicast beam. Ease of filtering is thus achieved by relying on frequency nondegeneracy of the newly generated copies. In this paper, instantaneous analysis of the incoming microwave signal is demonstrated by simultaneous monitoring five of the generated parametric copies while transmitting a frequency-hopping pattern. Operating margins in terms of optical and microwave powers are studied using the five-channel data simultaneously collected on a real-time oscilloscope. Dynamic range adjustments through optical power tuning of the input signal seed are demonstrated. Finally, the effects of frequency mapping detuning are observed to determine optimal operating conditions.
