A multi-tone high efficient bandwidth system with an eliminated even-order distortions using double dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator

In this paper, a linearization of dual RF channels over a single carrier wavelength is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Multiple microwave signals with a multi-octave bandwidth are modulated by a double dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (D-DPMZM) and recovered by a differential balanced...
