Abstract :
The paper presents simulated and experimental performance of a microwave photonic link that exhibits an increased input power range compared with conventional microwave photonic links. It utilizes a dual optical link architecture to realize a synthetic extension of the dynamic range (>100 dB @ 100 KHz bandwidth), with an MDS of <-110 dBm at a 10 GHz frequency.
