Microwave photonic signal generation using a quadratic FBG based optoelectronic oscillator
(Institute of Physics, 2025) Renuka, B.; Shivaputra, A.; Ramesh, S.; Mandi, M.V.; Meena, M.; Singh, M.
We proposed an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), incorporating a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM) and quadratic fiber Bragg grating (Q-FBG) for microwave photonic (MWP) applications. The suggested system combines the unique dispersive and reflective properties of the Q-FBG to achieve enhanced frequency stability and spectral purity. The Q-FBG facilitates precise control over the oscillation frequency by introducing quadratic phase modulation, effectively suppressing spurious modes and improving phase noise performance. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the OEO-QFBG system to generate low-phase-noise microwave signals with superior stability compared to conventional OEO designs. A 20 GHz microwave signal with low phase noise of -134.93 dBc Hz?1 at 10 kHz offset was generated. This work underscores the potential of integrating advanced photonic components, such as Q-FBGs, for advanced microwave photonics applications, including radar systems, communications, and high-precision instrumentation. © 2025 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Performance Improvement of Single-Loop Optoelectronic oscillator using Er-Yb codoped fiber Amplifier
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Renuka, B.; Meena, M.; Singh, M.
This paper reports a low phase noise single-loop optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) using Er-Yb codoped fiber amplifier (EYDFA). Its performance is compared with Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) in terms of the Quality factor (Q), phase noise, and eye diagrams. The opti-system simulation confirms 36.14 Q-factor and -149.08 dBc/Hz phase noise at 10 kHz offset frequency with Er-Yb codoped fiber amplifier. Also, the reliability study is performed using different fiber loop lengths to determine the optimized OEO design. The proposed OEO generates a 10 GHz microwave signal with low-frequency drift along a 5 km optical fiber loop, which is suitable for X-band radar applications. Â© 2023 IEEE.
Phase Noise Reduction in Optoelectronic Oscillator With Quadratic Fiber Bragg Grating Dispersion Engineering
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Renuka, B.; Singh, M.
This article presents the design, implementation, and performance analysis of an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) incorporating a quadratic fiber Bragg grating (Q-FBG). Integrating Q-FBG in OEO architecture introduces enhanced filtering capabilities and precise frequency control, which are critical for applications requiring high stability and low phase noise. It provides a tailored reflection spectrum, enabling improved mode selection and reduced spurious tones. Experiments confirm oscillator’s superior performance metrics, including phase noise reduction and frequency stability. Theoretical modeling and simulation corroborate the experimental results, confirming the Q-FBG’s effectiveness in optimizing OEO performance. An error vector magnitude (EVM) of 2.5% is obtained for the generated signal, indicating high quality and improved modulation accuracy of the microwave signal. The uncertainty of measurement, particularly the standard deviation in EVM values, is analyzed to assess system reliability. The potential applications of the proposed OEO include telecommunications, radar systems, and precision measurement instruments. The study underscores the significant advantages of incorporating Q-FBG in OEOs and paves the way for further advancements in microwave photonics technology. © 1963-2012 IEEE.
