Signal-to-Noise Ratio of True-Time Delay Beamformers Based on Microwave Photonic Links Using an Incoherent Broadband Optical Source
IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics(2019)
Abstract
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of true-time delay beamformers based on microwave photonic links using an incoherent broadband optical source (IBOS) is investigated. A comprehensive theory considering the bias angle of the Mach-Zehnder modulator employed in the microwave photonic link is presented to analyze the SNR. When the RF signal at the fundamental frequency is fed by the beamformer, the SNR...
