“…Recently, some technologies for microwave photonic frequency conversion have been reported. ESA GSTP [4][5] carried out microwave photonic frequency down-conversion, in which the RF frequency signal converted from Ka band (28-31GHz) down to C band (3-5GHz) with MZM and optical LO (local oscillator). Test result shows that the RF performance can be compatible with the implementation of repeaters at large scale with an attractive number of beams.…”

In this paper, on basis of DPMZM (Dual-Parallel Mach-Zehnder Modulator), an approach for microwave photonic frequency conversion using DSSC(double-sideband suppressed-carrier) and balance detection is demonstrated. DSSC and balance detection were used to realize high harmonic suppression, and achieve frequency conversion signal with high power and high spectrum purity. In addition, theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the optimal modulation index is m1=2, m2=1.81, and the harmonic suppression is greater than 30dB.
