AbstractA scheme to suppress nonlinear intermodulation distortion in microwave photonic (MWP) link is proposed by using polarizers to compensate inherent non-linear behavior of dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (DE-MZM). Insertion losses and extinction ratio have also been considered. Simulation results depict that spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of proposed link reaches to 130.743 dB.Hz2/3. A suppression of 41 dB in third order intermodulation distortions and an improvement of 15.3 dB is reported when compared with the conventional link. In addition, an electrical spectrum at different polarization angles is extracted and 79^\circ is found to be optimum value of polarization angle.

Abstract In this paper, a dual-drive dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder Modulator based linearization scheme is implemented by utilizing only two phase shifters and comprehensively demonstrated for a photonic transmission link. Third order intermodulation distortion is suppressed by adjusting angles of electrical phase shifters i.e. π/2 and−π/2 and a non-linear distortion immune system can be proposed for microwave photonic link. A complete suppression in intermodulation terms and 20.8 dB enhancements are found in spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). SFDR reaches 135.6 dB Hz4/5 by suppressing major spurious contributors of third order intermodulation distortions in optical domain only which ensures the improvement in performance of link against non-linear terms.

AbstractThis paper presents measurement of third order intermodulation distortion and third order intercept (TOI) in a Fabry–Perot semiconductor laser lasing at 1550.3 nm when the laser is biharmonically bias-current modulated. Keeping the modulation current of one signal fixed, the third order intermodulation power at two different frequencies has been found to increase with the increase in second signal modulation power. There is an eventual crossover or tendency to crossover in the intermodulation characteristics when the modulation current amplitudes of the channels assume the same value. The TOI has been experimentally measured. The intermodulation power appearing at two different frequencies along with their signal power dependence and measurement of TOI constitute the outcome of this paper. The typical value of spurious-free dynamic range of the modulation scheme is 70 dB.

 The article investigates ways to expand the dynamic range of broadband microwave receiving devices. The task is to lim-it the output signals while increasing the upper boundary of the dynamic range by the criterion of the thirdorder inter-modulation component suppression. The main relations  determining the dynamic range boundary conditions are pre-sented. Experimental studies of three variants of constructing the broadband microwave receiver output path in two-ton mode of operation are carried out for:– an output amplifier with a point of 1 dB of output power compression at the level corresponding to safe output power;– a powerful output amplifier with a passive diode limiter on the output;– a powerful output amplifier with an automatic attenuation adjustment circuit connected to its input.The measurement results of the magnitude of intermodulation distortions suppression and output power are presented as a function of the input signal level for various nonlinear elements. Based on the analysis of the measured characteristics, an optimal technical solution is found for constructing an output path. The dynamic range is extended by more than 20 dB. Suppression of intermodulation components of the third order exceeds 60 dB. Effective functioning of the broadband receiver in multisign mode is ensured.
