Abstract

This paper presents a real-time photonic compressed receiver. It enables the acquisition and real-time recovery of multiple high-frequency sparse communication signals via photonic scrambling, using baseband low-speed ADCs integrated in Zynq UltraScale+ XCZU28DR RFSoC. The system significantly simplifies the digital signal processing into low-complexity matrix multiplication, enabling real-time operation on a single FPGA with a high compression ratio of 8 and successful recovery of multi-gigahertz QPSK signals.
