The performance of a dc to 3 GHz externally modulated link utilizing balanced high-power photodetection is presented. Nonlinearity measurements of high power photodiodes show 1 dB compression currents in excess of 55 mA and an output third-order inte

We demonstrate, for the first time, fiber-optic remoting of an X-band radar with ultrahigh dynamic range, and show that photonic components can meet the stringent phase noise requirements for remoting modern radars. Fiber optic links were designed an

An optimal bias voltage, named the "stabilized quadrature bias voltage," has been identified for Mach-Zehnder modulators, which reduces RF gain instability. A practical remedy for RF gain instability is described.

A fiber-optic system for microwave angle of arrival measurements is demonstrated in an anechoic chamber for the first time. The system consists of a four-channel optical downconverter capable of processing received signals from 2-18 GHz. Direction re

Dynamic range of alternative configurations for a single-channel cascaded-MZM downconverter are compared for the first time to our knowledge. Increased RIN in an optically amplified setup may outweigh increased RF power gain in ultrawideband systems.
A microwave-photonic frequency shifting system capable of 60 dB image rejection over a DC to 18 GHz bandwidth is described. The final IF band can exist within the original RF frequency range with 60 dB isolation. The system allows antenna remoting vi

Frequency conversion is pervasive in the majority of radio transmitters or receivers. In receiver design, frequency conversion exploits heterodyne detection providing higher dynamic range, greater signal to noise ratios, and allows relaxed signal pro

We report initial demonstrations of photonic technology meeting the stringent phase noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements for remoting radars. In particular, fiber optic links were used to remote the antenna and transmitter of the Navy A
