In this paper, we try to analyze ways and means of amplitude-phase modulation conversion of the optical carrier, measuring “amplitude-frequency” and optical-electronic conversion of the obtained spectral components and their use for the measurement of the instantaneous frequency of microwave signals. The aim of paper is to extend the range of measured frequencies, increase the resolution of the measurements in the "low" frequencies and sensitivity of the measurements in the field of "high" frequencies.
