Abstract
Microwave photonic technology is a new technology which combines microwave technology and photonic technology. It has great advantages in many aerospace fields such as satellite navigation and space exploration. In the harsh space environment, Fresnel reflection is easy to be produced in the optical connector. In this paper, we build a RF microwave photonic transmission platform to analyse the influences of the optical echo increase and the optical phase change arising from Fresnel reflection of the optical connector on the phase noise. First of all, we present a scheme to simulate the echo of the optical signal caused by the Fresnel reflection. The results show that in our built platform the optical echo caused by the Fresnel reflection can not give rise to phase noise degradation. Secondly, the influence of optical phase change on phase noise by changing the size of air gap is experimentally analysed. As the size rises from 0.3mm to 0.7mm, the phase noise deteriorates to be - 93dBc / Hz at 1kHz.
