Abstract
In this paper, a broadband photoelectric fusion transceiver-multiplexed system is proposed to realize a frequency converter. The system achieves a high spurious suppression ratio through two frequency conversions that utilize the advantages of microwave and photonics technology simultaneously to reduce the complexity of the system and improve the effective spectrum utilization. In addition, the core components, such as the Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM), are multiplexed in the up and down frequency conversion link. High-frequency local oscillator (LO) signals are used to keep image frequency signals and various kinds of spurious signals obtained by beating frequency outside the system bandwidth. Experimental results demonstrate that the operating frequency ranges from 2 to 18 GHz with high performance for both transmitter and receiver. The image rejection is 57.35 dB for up-conversion and 46.56 dB for down-conversion, and the in-band spurious suppression achieves at least 55.02 dB. At the same time, the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) can reach at least ${89.11}\;{\rm dB} \cdot {{\rm Hz}^{2/3}}$.
