“…An interesting approach is to use IMWP to implement a similar architecture, but on a silicon photonic platform. A fully integrated photonic frequency down-converter was demonstrated using a custom InP platform [12]. However, this system was developed for RF radar front-ends up to 1 GHz and not applied to wireless communication systems.…”

In this work we present a silicon photonics Radioover-Fiber transmitter with microwave photonic up-conversion capability. The circuit consists of a pair of parallel GeSi EAMs in a MZI structure. We show that the up-converter/transmitter can up-convert 64-QAM data on a 1.5 GHz IF to any output carrier frequency in the 7-26 GHz range. This interval is only limited by measurement equipment, as we demonstrate that the EAM has a 3 dB bandwidth exceeding 65 GHz. Furthermore, the linearity of the up-converter/transmitter is characterized and a SFDR larger than 82 dB•Hz 2/3 is demonstrated. Using this system we transmit up to 1.3 Gb/s 64-QAM data over 2 km of SMF with a received 5.4 % rms EVM.

Photonics‐based microwave frequency mixing provides distinct features in terms of wide frequency coverage, broad instantaneous bandwidth, small frequency‐dependent loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference as compared with its electronic counterpart, which can be a key technical enabler for future broadband and multifunctional RF systems. Herein, all‐optical and optoelectronic microwave frequency mixing techniques are reviewed, with an emphasis on the latest advances in photonics‐based microwave frequency mixers with improved performance in terms of conversion efficiency, dynamic range, mixing‐spur suppression, mixing functionality, and polarization independence. Innovative applications enabled by photonics‐based microwave frequency mixers, such as radio‐over‐fiber communication systems, radar systems, satellite payloads and electronic warfare systems, are also reviewed. In addition, efforts in implementing integrated photonics‐based microwave mixers that lead to a dramatic reduction in size, weight, and power consumption are also reviewed.
