摘要

Microwave photonic mixing can realize the frequency conversion of microwave signals in the optical domain, breaking through the bandwidth bottleneck and electromagnetic interference problems of traditional microwave mixing methods. In the background of the hybrid macro-micro cellular system, a wideband, large dynamic range and reconfigurable microwave photonic mixer is proposed, theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated in this paper. By adjusting the modulator bias voltages and matching the proper digital domain operations, a microwave photonic mixer with reconfigurable functions including single-ended dispersion immune mixing, I/Q frequency down-conversion, image rejection mixing, and double-balanced mixing are realized, respectively. Meanwhile, optimizing the electrical attenuator using convex optimization can suppress the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3), maximize the conversion gain, and finally improve the spur-free dynamic range (SFDR). Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can be operated with a frequency from 5 to 20 GHz, and the SFDR can achieve 118.3 dB Hz4/5. Over the whole frequency range, I/Q frequency down-conversion can be well conducted with an amplitude imbalance below 0.7 dB and a phase imbalance below ±0.7°. After an I/Q imbalance compensation algorithm, the image rejection ratio of over 60 dB is produced. The power fading caused by fiber dispersion is also compensated successfully. For a vector signal with 16 quadrature amplitude modulation, the best error vector magnitude (EVM) reaches 3.4%.
