Abstract

This article presents a theoretical calculation of a radio photon mixer using the methods of spectral analysis of signals and the results of an experimental study of the spectral composition of optical signals in a radio photon mixer. An experimental setup is presented, which consists of an optical source, two Mach-Zander modulators, an optical spectrum analyzer and auxiliary equipment for setting bias voltages and generating microwave signals. Expressions are obtained for determining the amplitude coefficients of the harmonic components in the spectrum of the signal of a radiophoton mixer at the output of the second electro-optical modulator. As a result of the experimental study, the amplitudes of the combination components in the optical spectrum at the output of the investigated mixer were determined.
