Abstract

We propose and implement a microwave photonic multimode injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) with a wide frequency operational range based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO). In the OEO, a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a photodetector (PD) are employed to construct a frequency multiplier to achieve an

${N} -1$

times frequency multiplication, which is then mixed with an external injection signal at an electrical mixer in the OEO loop. By adjusting the round-trip gain and time delay of the OEO loop, a radio frequency (RF) signal with a frequency that is 1/N that of the injection signal is generated, thus N times frequency division is achieved. Theoretical analysis and experimental verification are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed ILFD. The results demonstrate that the system can divide an RF signal from 2.6 to 20.8 GHz to 1.3–1.95 GHz with different frequency division factors ranging from 2 to 13. A significant improvement in phase noise of 35.11 dB is also obtained at a frequency offset of 100 kHz when the frequency division factor is 13.

基于光电振荡器的宽工作范围微波光子多模注入锁定分频器

提出并实现了一种基于光电振荡器（OEO）的宽频率工作范围的微波光子多模注入锁定分频器（ILFD）。在OEO中，利用Mach-Zehnder调制器（MZM）和光电探测器（PD）构建一个倍频器，实现${N} -1$倍频，然后在OEO环路的电混频器中与外部注入信号混合。通过调整OEO环路的往返增益和时延，产生频率为注入信号1/N的射频信号，从而实现N次分频。通过理论分析和实验验证，评价了所提出的ILFD的有效性。结果表明，该系统可以将2.6 ~ 20.8 GHz和1.3 ~ 1.95 GHz的射频信号进行分频，分频因子为2 ~ 13。当分频因子为13时，在频率偏移为100 kHz时，相位噪声也得到了35.11 dB的显著改善。

期刊介绍： The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques focuses on that part of engineering and theory associated with microwave/millimeter-wave components, devices, circuits, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, and industrial, activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves usually in the frequency region between a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the Society whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
