The precision of local oscillator (LO) signal in in-phase and quadrature (IQ) demodulation strongly affects the imaging performance of millimeter wave (mmWave) radars. Therefore, to eliminate the requirement for high-precision LO, a simple yet effective digital IQ demodulation method has been proposed with the aid of a specified sampling scheme in...

We consider a wideband integrated access and backhaul system operating in full-duplex mode between the New Radio gNB donor and single user equipment. Due to high power consumption in millimeter wave systems, we use low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in the receivers. Our contributions include (1) hybrid beamformer to maximize sum sp...

... The basic concept of the photonics-assisted receiver is shown in Fig. 1. First, the wireless signal s(t) is detected and converted into the baseband by a mixing with the carrier frequency [17]. Subsequently, the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of the baseband signal are directed to an optical I/Q modulator. ...
This paper introduces a photonics-assisted receiver that enables the reception of high-bandwidth wireless signals with low-bandwidth electronics. The receiver down-converts the input signal into parallel low-bandwidth sub-signals, employing photonics-based orthogonal sampling. This sampling is based on a multiplication and not switching, so, it does not introduce additional aperture jitter. Therefore, the photonics-assisted analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the wireless signal with a higher signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SINAD), which improves the Q-factor for the detection. This Q-factor improvement is especially high, when the orthogonal sampling is carried out with low-jitter oscillators. Compared to the direct detection with 30 GHz, the simulation demonstrates a 2.2 dB Q-factor enhancement for the detection of a 30 GHz signal, with 10 GHz electronics. The same improvement is revealed in the experiment for the detection of 12 GHz signals with 4 GHz electronics.
