Abstract: An optical-electronic integrated RF leakage interference cancellation system and method for continuous wave radars belongs to the technical filed of radars. The optical-electronic integrated RF leakage interference cancellation system cancels the RF leakage interference by integrating of the microwave photonic link and the cable link.

It has the advantages of broad frequency band, large bandwidth, and high tuning resolution, which enables the effective suppression of the RF leakage interference and ensures the high transmit-to-receive isolation for continuous wave radars.
