Photonic Local Oscillator System
Recent commercial developments in the optical fiber industry have raised the possibility of supplying the local oscillator signal for the MMA by generating two optical signals differing in frequency by the required local oscillator frequency. These two optical signals may then be transmitted over a single optical fiber to each antenna. Within the receiver dewar, the two optical signals are mixe...
متن کاملJosephson junction mixer using an external local oscillator
2014 Mixing experiments on niobium point contacts are reported for conversion from 95 GHz to 140 MHz. The conversion efficiency is less than predicted by the highly damped weak link model. The discrepancy is presumably due to mixing with higher harmonics of the local oscillator. The lowest noise temperature measured was T ~ 100 K which is of the same order as recently reported for cooled Schott...
متن کاملSilicon slow-light-based photonic mixer for microwave-frequency conversion applications.
We describe and demonstrate experimentally a method for photonic mixing of microwave signals by using a silicon electro-optical Mach-Zehnder modulator enhanced via slow-light propagation. Slow light with a group index of ~11, achieved in a one-dimensional periodic structure, is exploited to improve the upconversion performance of an input frequency signal from 1 to 10.25 GHz. A minimum transmis...
متن کاملA Novel Photonic Oscillator
We report a novel oscillator for photonic RF systems. This oscillator is capable of generating high-frequency signals up to 70 GHz in both electrical and optical f domains and is a special voltage-controlled oscillator with an optical output port. It can be used to make a phase-locked loop (PLL) and perform all functions that a PLL is capable of for photonic systems. It can be synchronized to a...
متن کاملHigh spectral purity Kerr frequency comb radio frequency photonic oscillator
Femtosecond laser-based generation of radio frequency signals has produced astonishing improvements in achievable spectral purity, one of the basic features characterizing the performance of an radio frequency oscillator. Kerr frequency combs hold promise for transforming these lab-scale oscillators to chip-scale level. In this work we demonstrate a miniature 10 GHz radio frequency photonic osc...
