  • Abstract
    An analytic design-oriented model of microwave optical link has been developed. The core of the model is the nonlinear and noise model of a Mach-Zehnder LiNbO3 interferometer. Different linearized microwave links, based on the use of an auxiliary modulator, have been designed by using the proposed model: significant improvement of the 3rd-order intermodulation attenuation has been measured on a lab test bed.
