Abstract

We present a technique allowing the stabilization and tuning of a modulation sideband in the presence of high-carrier frequency jitter and increased carrier phase noise. This technique is of particular interest in communication systems where oscillators providing the carrier signal cannot be stabilized by a conventional phase-locked loop, such as systems relying on low-cost optical LO generation techniques. The results obtained in simulation are validated by measurements carried out on a modular system demonstrator.
