J. Marti et al., Millimetre-wave generation and harmonic upconversion through PM-IM conversion in chirped fibre gratings, ELECTR LETT, 35(15), 1999, pp. 1265-1266
A novel technique for generating millimetre-wave signals through phase-to-i
ntensity modulation (PM-IM) conversion in chirped Fibre gratings is present
ed. Experimental results at 28GHz show excellent phase noise performance (-
87dBc/Hz at 10kHz). It is also demonstrated that this technique may be used
for harmonically upconverting intermediate frequency signals to the microw
ave/millmetre-wave hand achieving BER < 10(-9) in QPSK transmissions.
