Abstract
A channel mismatch model for time-interleaved photonic analog-to-digital converters is built by decomposing both optical time division multiplexing channels and the wavelength division multiplexing channels into time channels with uniform and equal-amplitude sampling clock. Based on the model, the influence of power and timing mismatch of optical sampling pulse trains, optical sampling pulse temporal shape mismatches, photodetection bandwidth mismatches on the sampling results are analyzed theoretically. Depending on the found relationship between unmodulated components and modulated components, an effective online amplitude mismatch correction method applicable to wideband signals is proposed. The theoretical results are verified on a 4-channel TIPADC system. The proposed amplitude mismatch correction method can suppress the spurs caused by unmodulated components mismatch and modulated components mismatch by ~50 dB and ~30 dB for a two-tone signal, respectively.
