A method for generating millimeter wave noise with a flat RF (radio frequency) spectrum includes the following steps. A noise optical signal with an optical spectrum in Gaussian shape is output by a first optical emission module. The noise optical signal is transmitted to an optical coupler. n beams of noise optical signals with optical spectra in Gaussian shape is output by a second optical emission module. The noise optical signals is transmitted to the optical coupler. The noise light generated by the first optical emission module and the second optical emission module is coupled to the optical coupler. The coupled optical signals is transmitted to a photodetector. The beat frequency is performed by the photodetector to realize mapping transformation from the optical spectra to the RF spectra. The flat millimeter wave noise is output.
