Abstract :
Experimental results are presented for an optically fed MMIC based self-oscillating mixer (SOM) at 19 GHz. A frequency reference, used to subharmonically synchronize the 19 GHz VCO, and FM data signals are optically distributed to generate RF signals for Ka-band communication satellites.
