Abstract
A method to provide bandwidth compressed time-mapped spectrogram analysis based on temporal Talbot effect and temporal magnification is proposed and numerically demonstrated in this paper. The signal under test (SUT) is firstly sampled by a periodic pulse train, then passes through a dispersive medium under the Talbot condition and the spectrogram of the SUT is mapped to the time domain, so-called time-mapped spectrogram (TM-SP). Subsequently, a temporal magnification technique is implemented to stretch the time axis and compress the spectrum bandwidth, so that the effect of detection bandwidth on the frequency resolution is alleviated. Though the TM-SP cannot be acquired in a continuous way, the SUT is analyzed with ultrahigh frame rate in the temporal aperture. Additionally, a method to improve acquisition frame rate is proposed. The proposed bandwidth compressed TM-SP analysis is compared with the dispersion-based Fourier transform, and the related tradeoffs are provided in detail. The bandwidth compressed TM-SP analysis with a frequency resolution of 0.1 GHz, a measurable frequency range of 4.85 GHz, an analysis period of 0.1 ns, and an observation period of 4 ns is achieved by simulation.
