  • Patent number: 10979143
    Abstract: A frequency chirp correction method for the photonic time-stretch system comprises acquiring the stretching signal, i.e. acquiring the time-domain data after the time-domain stretching. First, the time-domain data of the stretching signal is Fourier transformed to obtain the spectral distribution. The spectral distribution is then convoluted with the first frequency-domain correction factor, and then multiplied with the second frequency-domain correction factor to obtain the modified frequency spectrum. Finally, the modified frequency spectrum is performed by the inverse Fourier transform to obtain the time-domain signal after the frequency chirp correction.

  • Patent number: 9705200
    Abstract: A traveling-wave loop antenna based on a metal ring cavity for generating a radio frequency OAM beam includes a main structure which is the metal ring cavity whose top surface has an annular slot circumferentially opened. Two openings, ¼ of a perimeter of the metal ring cavity apart, are two excitation source ports of the antenna, for connecting a metal waveguide. When the two ports are inputted with microwave sources having the same frequency and a phase difference of ±90°, an electromagnetic field in the metal ring cavity exhibits a traveling-wave distribution propagating circumferentially clockwise or counterclockwise. The annular slot constitutes the antenna. A reasonable design of a size of the metal ring cavity and a position of the annular slot realizes a conversion from a microwave guided-wave mode to an OAM mode and a generation of the radio frequency OAM beams with different orders l in free space.
