Method for measuring environmental electromagnetic field

A method employs an unmanned aerial vehicle to carry an electromagnetic field measurement system to overcome environmental obstacles in measuring environmental electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field measurement system senses the electromagnetic field of a spatial position in the environment to generate a sensing signal, then processes the sensing signal to remove the high-frequency electromagnetic interference generated by the operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle itself from the sensing signal, and converts the processed sensing signal into a digital signal. The digital signal is processed to extract at least one wave according to a fundamental frequency and a harmonic order, thereby removing the low-frequency electromagnetic interference from the digital signal. The extracted wave is employed in calculating an environmental electromagnetic field value of the spatial location.

20220397596 · 2022-12-15 ·

A system for processing and measuring radio frequency (RF) signals is described. The system uses a plurality of RF-to-optical antennas (ROAs). The ROAs can be configured to measure different characteristics of an RF signal such as different frequency bands or different polarizations. The ROAs are probed with an optical source, and the ROAs measured are determined by the wavelength or wavelengths of said optical source. A wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) separates the incoming optical wavelength or wavelengths so that a different wavelength can probe each ROA. It is possible to reflect the ROA-modulated optical signal after propagating through the ROA so as to produce a larger modulation on the optical signal. Here, the WDM also serves to combine the optical wavelengths so that a single fiber serves as the optical interface to the ROAs. The device can be configured to operate over a wide range of RF spectra.
