Abstract :
A tunable millimetre-wave generator using optical phase modulators with no DC bias and no filters (neither RF nor optical filters) is proposed in this paper. A 60 GHz RF signal is optically generated by multiplying the frequency of an input RF signal at 7.5 GHz by a factor of 8. The electrical suppression ratio is around 70 dB as shown by simulations.
