“…Some of the former have been outlined here. Some architectural techniques might include cascaded approaches on the E/O side [35,36] and/or the O/E side [37]. Ultimately, these types of approaches need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, where system requirements will determine the possible photonic designs.…”

“…An MZM can be modulated at a higher modulation depth, however the fundamental transfer function is sinusoidal. Increasing the modulation depth and forcing a more square wave output results in distortion in the link which manifests as third order nonlinearity which may negatively affect the probe performance [17,18]. To achieve the maximum extinction ratio of 30 dB for the MZM, a feedback loop on one of the output ports of the MZM is required to reduce the drift over time of the extinction ratio.…”

To accomplish this, we developed an optically modulated, near-field probe which consists of a rectangular dipole antenna loaded with a photodiode. The modulation scheme separates scattering off of the probe from background reflections. We present the design and performance of an optically modulated scatterer (OMS) probe for use in a near-field measurement system.

“…There have been multiple attempts to solve this problem aided by photonic systems. Interference cancellation, where the signal of interest is separated from added noise have been experimentally demonstrated using tunable delays [14], [15], semiconductor optical amplifiers [16], [17], dispersive elements [18], microring resonators (MRRs) [19] or the nonlinear response of optical modulators [20]. Furthermore, a more general scheme based on the broadcast-and-weight (B&W) protocol using MRRs to perform the matrix multiplications in optical domain have been theoretically studied and great improvements in terms of bandwidth and energy consumption over DSP systems have been calculated [21].…”

Massive-MIMO systems can achieve high capacities and data rates by increasing the number of operational antennas in the base station. As more antenna elements are introduced, the complexity of the signal processing operations increases accordingly and current electronic processors struggle to reach those requirements. To overcome these hurdles, we propose a novel theory to process the RF signals in the optical domain. We experimentally demonstrate the capabilities of theory using a non-integrated Dual Parallel Modulator as a 2×2 optical matrix multiplier, recovering satisfactorily previously mixed RF signals modulated following the standards in 5G communications. Finally, we propose an integrated photonic architecture based on a core of Mach Zehnder Interferometers to physically process the information. Together with the optical core, we proposed the integration of RF modulators, microwave photonic filters and high-speed photodetectors. We present simulations on the expected performance of the circuit and analyze the impact of fabrication errors.
