Abstract

The invention provides a photonics microwave I / Q down-conversion system, and relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication. The system adopts a polarization division multiplexing dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator to modulate radio frequency and local oscillator signals, and by adjusting the working point of the modulator and performing optical filtering and polarization control,two paths of down-conversion channels with a phase difference of 90 degrees are constructed to achieve the microwave I / Q down-conversion. According to the photonics microwave I / Q down-conversion system provided by the invention, the radio frequency and local oscillator signals are modulated into polarization division multiplexing optical signals, and optical filtering, optical splitting, polarization control and balance detection are performed on the polarization division multiplexing optical signals to achieve the I / Q down-conversion of the radio frequency and local oscillator signals. The photonics microwave I / Q down-conversion system provided by the invention has the advantages of simple structure and high operability; and by adopting the photonics method to realize the orthogonal down-conversion of the two paths, the frequency dependence of an electronic device can be avoided, and the photonics microwave I / Q down-conversion system has the advantages of large bandwidth and high I / Qbalance degree.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, in particular to a microwave I / Q down-conversion system. Background technique [0002] Microwave I / Q downconverter is a common device in modern electronic systems. It is often used for image suppression downconversion, zero-IF reception, phase detection, and frequency detection. The essence of the microwave I / Q down-converter is a pair of down-converters with a phase difference of 90 degrees, consisting of two down-converters and a quadrature coupler. However, due to the frequency dependence of electronic devices, it is difficult for the frequency conversion efficiency of the downconverter to be consistent within a large bandwidth, which leads to the amplitude imbalance problem of the microwave I / Q downconverter; at the same time, it is difficult for the quadrature coupler to guarantee The phase difference is exactly 90 degrees, causing the microwave I / Q downconverter to face...
