Target recognition based on phase noise of received laser signal in lidar jammer

In this Letter, a method based on the effects of imperfect oscillators in lasers is proposed to distinguish targets in continuous wave tracking lidar. This technique is based on the fact that each lidar signal source has a specific influence on the phase noise that makes real targets from the false ones. A simulated signal is produced by complex circuits, modulators, memory, and signal oscillators. For example, a deception laser beam has an unequal and variable phase noise from a real target. Thus, the phase noise of transmitted and received signals does not have the same power levels and patterns. To consider the performance of the suggested method, the probability of detection（PD） is shown for various signal-to-noise ratios and signal-to-jammer ratios based on experimental outcomes.

The Study on Heterodyne and Phase Diversity Coherent Optical Fiber Communication Systems and Their Components

The research in Coherent Optical Fiber Communication Systems (COFCS) using long waveband semiconductor laser diodes as transmitter and local oscillator has evolved gradually from an esteric subject studied in just a few communication laboratories around the world to the field demonstration stage. This is mainly because of the possibility of receiver sensitivity improvement reaching 10～20 dB, that of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) with very fine frequency separation and the possibility of using electronic equalization network to compensate for the effect of optical pulse dispersion in the Single Mode Fiber (SMF). The author of the dissertation has engaged in the study on COFCSs since 1987. Undergoing 3 years of hard work, the finished research work includes two parts: Part I is the study on heterodyne COFCSs and their key components; Part II is the study on two branch phase diversity COFCS and its components. In the first part, using the Lamb′s semi classical theory and the model of vector field, the effects of various kinds of parameters, such as cavity detuning, cavity′s Q factor and the transverse magnetic field strength, on the intramode beat frequency tuning characteristics are analyzed. On the basis of the theoretical analysis, the equipment of 1 523 nm He Ne Stabilized Transverse Zeeman Lasee (STZL) with high frequency stability and certain continuous single frequency tuning range, has been established domestically for the first time. With the development of long waveband semi conductor laser diodes fabricated domestically, the author mainly deals with the long waveband COFCSs using semiconductor laser diodes as transmitter and local oscillator. To counter the poor spectrum characteristics of the conventional double heterojunction semi conductor laser diodes, the characteristics of 1.5 um InGaAsP GRINROD External Cavity Semi conductor Lasers (ECSL) in the case of strong and weak feedback conditions, is experimentally studied. Then the GRINROD Dissertation completed Apr.1991ECSLs with complete closed and compact structure are developed. Using this kind of lasers and other components made domestically, the long waveband large deviation FSK heterodyne single filter/ envelope detection systems and small deviation FSK heterodyne single filter/delay line frequency discriminator detection system are achieved for the first time. In those experiments, the frequency modulation characteristics, line width, single frequency continuous tuning range and frequency stability of the GRINROD ECSL are measured by means of IF spectrum. Meanwhile, the IF receiving circuits are optimized for obtaining stable transmission properties. The main research achievements in part II are the theoretical analysis of the diversity COFCSs. Firstly, the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of two branch homodyne phase diversity ASK, DPSK and two branch homodyne phase polarization DPSK receivers are analyzed by means of characteristic function model. In the analysis, the effects of pre and post detection filters on the system performance are especially studied. Secondly, the impacts of the phase noise, shot noise, polarization mismatch and imbalance of branch circuits on the two branch homodyne phase diversity ASK receiver, and that of modulation frequency deviation on FSK receiver are analyzed in terms of Gaussian approximation. Lastly, an improved all fiber 90 degree optical hybrid is fabricated. Utilizing the hybrid and 1.5 um InGaAsP GRINROD and grating ECSLs, a low IF, two branch phase diversity FSK coherent optical fiber transmission system is experimented for the first time in China.

Design and analysis of an energy-efficient O-QPSK coherent IR-UWB transceiver with a 0.52° RMS phase-noise fractional synthesizer

This paper explores an energy-efficient pulsed ultra-wideband（UWB） radio-frequency（RF） front-end chip fabricated in 0.18-μm CMOS technology, including a transmitter, receiver, and fractional synthesizer. The transmitter adopts a digital offset quadrature phase-shift keying（O-QPSK） modulator and passive direct-phase multiplexing technology, which are energy-and hardware-efficient, to enhance the data rate for a given spectrum.A passive mixer and a capacitor cross-coupled（CCC） source-follower driving amplifier（DA） are also designed for the transmitter to further reduce the low power consumption. For the receiver, a power-aware low-noise amplifier（LNA） and a quadrature mixer are applied. The LNA adopts a CCC boost common-gate amplifier as the input stage, and its current is reused for the second stage to save power. The mixer uses a shared amplification stage for the following passive IQ mixer. Phase noise suppression of the phase-locked loop（PLL） is achieved by utilizing an even-harmonics-nulled series-coupled quadrature oscillator（QVCO） and an in-band noise-aware charge pump（CP） design. The transceiver achieves a measured data rate of 0.8 Gbps with power consumption of 16 m W and31.5 m W for the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. The optimized integrated phase noise of the PLL is0.52° at 4.025 GHz.
