Abstract
A novel parallel optical delay detector (PODD) is proposed for angle-of-arrival (AOA) measurement of a microwave signal with selective measurement range and signal-to-noise (SNR) enhancement. The PODD is experimentally demonstrated by using a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator. The noise robustness enhancement is experimentally investigated. Based on the proposed PODD, the measurement error for the full range can be less than 0.02 radian (0.71% of full measured range).
