The conversion gain of a photonic microwave mixer is often limited by the large carrier of the modulated optical signal, and may be further deteriorated by the chromatic dispersion-induced power fading after transmission over fiber. To solve this problem, an efficient photonic microwave mixer based on a dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DEMZM) is proposed in this paper. The carrier of the modulated optical signal is suppressed by bidirectional use of the modulator in a Sagnac loop, and a 21.9-dB improvement of the conversion gain is achieved in the experiment. In addition, the frequency response of the mixer after transmission over fiber can be tuned by simply adjusting the direct current (DC) bias of the modulator. This feature is applied to compensate the dispersion-induced power fading of the mixing product. In the proof of concept experiment, a vector signal centered at 2.4 GHz is up-converted to 16 GHz and transmitted over 25-km single mode fiber (SMF). After power compensation, the constellation diagram, error vector magnitude (EVM) and receiver sensitivity are significantly improved, and are almost as good as that without fiber transmission.Index Terms-Chromatic dispersion, microwave photonics, microwave mixer, photonic frequency conversion, power fading.

SUMMARYThe intermediate frequency-over-fiber (IFoF) technology has attracted attention as an alternative transmission scheme to the functional split for the next-generation mobile fronthaul links due to its high spectral efficiency and perfect centralized control ability. In this paper, we discuss and clarify network architectures suited for IFoF, based on its advantages over the functional split. One of the major problems for IFoF transmission is dispersion-induced RF power fading, which limits capacity and transmission distance. We introduce our previous work, in which high-capacity and long-distance IFoF transmission was demonstrated by utilizing a parallel intensity/phase modulators (IM/PM) transmitter which can effectively avoid the fading. The IFoF technology with the proposed scheme is well suited for the long-distance mobile fronthaul links for the 5th generation (5G) mobile system and beyond. key words: Centralized RAN (C-RAN), mobile fronthaul, functional split, IF-over-fiber, dispersion-induced RF power fading.

A photonic scheme to generate frequency sextupled microwave signal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. An intensity modulator (IM) and a Sagnac loop with another IM imbedded inside are cascaded in the scheme. A light wave is modulated by a local oscillator (LO) signal in the first IM at the minimum transmission point to generate the ±1st‐order sidebands, and the modulated light wave is then sent to the Sagnac loop. The IM in the Sagnac loop is operating at the maximum transmission point and is driven by the same LO signal. The optical signal at the output of the Sagnac loop mainly contains ±3rd‐order sidebands. In the experiment, a 15.1‐dB electrical spurious suppression ratio (ESSR) is observed and no extra phase noise is introduced. In addition, the proposed system has no optical or electrical filter so that the generated frequency of the system can be tuned flexibly. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
