Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a pulse radar signal generation based on the Fourier domain mode-locked optoelectronic oscillator (FDML-OEO). In this method, two low-frequency control signals generated by a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) are adopted to control the tunable laser source (TLS) and the bias voltage of Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM) respectively. The broadband pulse signals are generated by directly truncating the broadband signals on the basis of a FDML-OEO by controlling the frequency and amplitude of the bias voltage of the MZM. In the experiment, the broadband radar pulse signals with tunable duty cycle and the center frequency are demonstrated. In particular, the center frequency of signals are tuned by changing the initial phase of pulse driving signal and the triangular wave or the wavelength of TLS, which have greatly potential in improving the detection capability of the radar system.
