Ultra-Wideband Photonic Microwave I/Q Mixer for Zero-IF Receiver
Abstract
Zero-intermediate frequency (IF) receiver features the advantages of compact structure and agile operating frequency, but faces the problems of local oscillator (LO) leakage, direct current (dc) offset, even-order distortion, and in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance. In this paper, a photonic microwave I/Q mixer for zero-IF receiver is proposed based on a single integrated polarization multiplexing Mach–Zehnder modulator (PDM-MZM). Thanks to its …
