Integrated Photonic Linear Frequency Discriminator Filter for 5G Phase-Modulated Microwave Photonic Links

The design, fabrication and characterization of a passive linearized field discriminator (FD) filter is presented. The FD filter is designed for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform using foundry process design kits (PDKs). Unlike previous FD filters; the design consists of only two MZI stages. The f...
