Popis: A photonic approach for microwave frequency measurement is proposed.A phase difference of the two microwave signals carried on two optical wavelengths is induced by a tunable dispersion medium.The interference microwave power is tuned periodically by changing dispersion value.The frequency of the microwave signal can be extracted from the period.In the proposed approach,a 7-bit optic delay line composed by 8 magneto-optical switches and 1.6 km single-mode fiber(SMF) is utilized as the tunable dispersion medium.The measurement accuracy remains within ±40 MHz over a range of 1~20 GHz.The minimum measureable power can reach to-20 dBm and the dynamic range is 45 dB.
