Phase fluctuation cancellation of anonymous microwave signal transmission in passive systems.

A phase fluctuation cancellation approach for anonymous microwave signal transmission over fiber link is proposed and demonstrated. Unlike most previous schemes that used for active systems, our proposal is suitable for passive systems by utilizing the optical signal feedback and electrical signal phase-locking. Experimental results show that phase drifts of 7.7-ps, 54-ps and 96-ps (RMS value) for 2.45-GHz signals could be reduced to 3.1-ps, 3.8-ps and 8.5-ps after 1-km, 10-km and 25-km SMF transmission over an eight-hour period, respectively. Overall system performance is limited by the coherent Rayleigh noise and could be further optimized.
