Zusammenfassung: | Imperfect optoelectronic devices deteriorate the performance of microwave photonic (MWP) systems and then hinder further practical application. This paper proposes a result-oriented lumped error correction to address the problem in the photonic-assisted broadband phased array. Herein, we focus on the evolution of the ultimate output resulting from various errors due to the nonideality of components. By establishing the static calibration base set (CBS) with tangent line approximation, the correction procedure is simplified, and the output degradation is greatly improved. Experimental results show the effective number of bits (ENOB) at the final output has been enhanced from 2.5 to 6.1. Further, double objectives optimization and imaging correction are demonstrated experimentally. The range resolution has been boosted from 3.9 cm to 2.4 cm, and the quality of the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images is improved using the proposed method. |
