Abstract
ABSTRACT This article presents an optical generation scheme of mm-wave carriers by 18-tupling of radio frequency (RF) signal using three cascaded Mach-Zehnder modulators. The proper selection of modulation index, biasing points and phase shifts leads to generation of desired ninth-order sidebands. A thorough mathematical analysis has been performed to validate the mm-wave generation and the results obtained are also consistent with simulation findings. Moreover, the effect of variation of key system parameters from their ideal values is also investigated. The higher tupling factor and elimination of optical filtering in the proposed scheme make it promising for implementation in radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmissions.
期刊介绍:
Fiber and Integrated Optics , now incorporating the International Journal of Optoelectronics, is an international bimonthly journal that disseminates significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. The journal is unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, systems applications, and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Integrated Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field.
