Abstract
A wideband signal upconversion and phase shifting scheme based on a frequency tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) are proposed and demonstrated. The OEO performs simultaneously tunable high-quality local oscillator (LO) signal generation, wideband frequency upconversion, and phase shifting within the whole range. With the generated LO tuning from 9.549 to 11.655 GHz, wideband square signals are successfully upconverted to the X band. The phase of the upconverted signal is tuned from 0 to 360 deg. The phase noise of the oscillation signal is about −104  dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset with or without the injected baseband signal.
