Abstract
We report the first demonstration of a uni-traveling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) used as a 5 Gbps wireless receiver. In this experiment, a 35.1 GHz carrier was electrically modulated with 5 Gbps non-return with zero on-off keying (NRZ–OOK) data and transmitted wirelessly over a distance of 1.3 m. At the receiver, a UTC-PD was used as an optically pumped mixer (OPM) to down-convert the received radio frequency (RF) signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) of 11.7 GHz, before it was down-converted to the baseband using an electronic mixer. The recovered data show a clear eye diagram, and a bit error rate (BER) of less than 10 −8 was measured. The conversion loss of the UTC-PD optoelectronic mixer has been measured at 22 dB. The frequency of the local oscillator (LO) used for the UTC-PD is defined by the frequency spacing between the two optical tones, which can be broadly tuneable offering the frequency agility of this photodiode-based receiver.
