Abstract

This paper presents investigations of frequency mixing of two microwave signals optically transmitted to PIN photodiode. A nonlinear equivalent circuit of the photodiode and a method of circuit extraction are presented. The model of a most significant PIN photodiode nonlinearity - a nonlinear responsivity is proposed. Obtained results of measurements and simulations are compared and discussed.
