Silicon slow-light-based photonic mixer for microwave-frequency conversion applications.
We describe and demonstrate experimentally a method for photonic mixing of microwave signals by using a silicon electro-optical Mach-Zehnder modulator enhanced via slow-light propagation. Slow light with a group index of ~11, achieved in a one-dimensional periodic structure, is exploited to improve the upconversion performance of an input frequency signal from 1 to 10.25 GHz. A minimum transmis...
متن کاملA 5.25ghz Monolithic Image-rejection Mixer
This paper describes the implementation of the image rejection mixer block in the 5GHz frequency band using 0.18μm CMOS technology. The image rejection mixer block adopts the double-quadrature topology for high image-rejection ratio in the high frequency applications and is designed for the dual-conversion receiver. The loss of the polyphase filter in the signal path can be reduced with simple ...
متن کاملReconfigurable microwave photonic mixer with minimized path separation and large suppression of mixing spurs.
A compact reconfigurable photonic microwave mixer is proposed and demonstrated based on a dual-polarization Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical 90-deg hybrid. By simply changing the photodetection schemes, single-ended, double-balanced, I/Q, and image-reject mixing can be implemented. Thanks to the sidebands selection by an optical filter, unwanted mixing spurs are highly suppressed. In addit...

متن کاملSoftware-defined microwave photonic filter with high reconfigurable resolution
Microwave photonic filters (MPFs) are of great interest in radio frequency systems since they provide prominent flexibility on microwave signal processing. Although filter reconfigurability and tunability have been demonstrated repeatedly, it is still difficult to control the filter shape with very high precision. Thus the MPF application is basically limited to signal selection. Here we presen...
