Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of radio frequency devices, in particular to a photoelectric oscillator based on a germanium modulator. Background technique [0002] At present, the commonly used electronic microwave oscillation sources have low spectral purity, while high-purity radio frequency signal sources have important application value in radar, communication and other fields, while optoelectronic oscillators can generate oscillation signals with high spectral purity. The photoelectric oscillator is mainly composed of a light source, an optical modulator, an optical detector, an optical delay line, an optical coupler, a radio frequency bandpass filter, an electrical amplifier, and an electrical coupler. The light source sends the signal to the optical modulator, and the modulated optical signal is detected by the optical detector after being transmitted by the optical delay line. Produces a high-purity RF signal with the same passband as the...
