Abstract
This article presents a highly stable injection-locked digital-phase-locked-loop optoelectronic oscillator (IL-DPLL OEO) employing an infinite-tuning-range microwave phase shifter for phase stabilization. The proposed phase shifter compensates delay variations inside the resonance loop, enabling stable operation over a wide temperature range without any thermal control. An FPGA-based digital feedback loop integrating phase detection and control is implemented to stabilize the oscillation phase. Experimental results demonstrate that, after locking to an external reference (REF), the generated microwave signal at 10 GHz achieves an Allan deviation of $4.1 \times 10^{-14}$ at 1 s and $6.06 \times 10^{-15}$ at 10 s. Stable operation is verified over a $20~^{\circ }$ C temperature variation without loss of lock. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed stabilization scheme for high-stability optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs) operating under wide temperature variations.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques focuses on that part of engineering and theory associated with microwave/millimeter-wave components, devices, circuits, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, and industrial, activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves usually in the frequency region between a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the Society whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
