Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a photonic generation scheme for multiband ultra-wideband (MB-UWB) signal by employing a dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulator (DDMZM). In this scheme, four electrical binary pulse streams with different bit rates are combined to drive one radio frequency (RF) port of the DDMZM, while the other RF port is modulated by the sum of their 1-b delayed duplicates. By properly adjusting the bit rate and the amplitude of each pulse stream, as well as the bias voltage of the DDMZM, an MB-UWB signal with four sub-bands can be obtained and the transmission capacity can be quadrupled. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified by a system demonstration, where the signal modulated by amplitude-phase-shift-key format reaches a high bit rate of 2 Gb/s.
