Demonstration of a 10Fold StretchFactor Photonic AnalogtoDigital Converter For a 5 GHz RadioFrequency Signal
A 10fold stretchfactor photonic TimeStretch AnalogtoDigital Converter (TSADC) system for a 5 GHz radiofrequency signal is achieved.By adopting the photonic time stretch scheme to compress the bandwidth of RadioFrequency,the effective analog bandwidth and effective sampling rate of the posterior electronic AnalogtoDigital Conversion were improved.The dispersioninduced power penalty of the stretched signal as well as the modulationinduced harmonic distortion were analyzed and simulated.The theoretical analysis and experimental results indicate that the SignaltoNoise And Distortion ratio of the photonic timestretch process is high enough to maintain the high effective number of bit of the posterior electronic AnalogtoDigital Conversers in the bandwidth of 0~5 GHz.In addition,the designed TSADC system can achieve an effective analog bandwidth of 8 GHz and an effective sampling rate of 200 GS/s.
