摘要
Based on a photonic microwave phase shifter, a microwave image-reject mixer (IRM) with all the mixing spurs suppressed is proposed in this paper, by using a dual-polarization dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPol-DMZM). A proof-of-concept experiment is conducted. Due to the wide band and precise 90-degree phase shift introduced by the photonic microwave phase shifter, the image rejection ratio reaches similar to 60 dB when the RF and LO frequencies are within 10-40 GHz. In addition, the mixing spurs are all suppressed below the noise floor.
