Abstract
A novel method to photonic generation multiband ultra-wide band (MB-UWB) impulse radio signal based on the summation of multiple doublet pulses with different weights and proper time delays is proposed. Microwave sinusoidal signal is used to amplitude modulate a tunable laser to get multi-wavelength source. The optical signal is then phase modulation with Gaussian pulse and fed into a section of single-mode fiber (SMF). The SMF services as phase modulation to intensity modulation (PM-IM) conversion to generate Gaussian doublet pulse, and offers proper time delays to Gaussian doublet pulses with different weights. MB-UWB pulses with sidelobe suppression levels over 25 dB, central frequency from 5 to 8 GHz, 10 dB bandwidth from 2.9 to 3.8 GHz are obtained in experiment.
