Abstract
A cost‐effective tunable version of optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) that overcomes the well‐known design tradeoffs in a traditional radio frequency (RF) oscillator is proposed. To validate the technique, a simple computerized model of the proposed OEO is used on the basis of commercial optoelectronic computer‐added design tool. The model correctly simulates the phase noise close to the carrier. As an example, we demonstrate a 3‐GHz OEO with simulation results that are experimentally confirmed by prototype measurements. A parametric comparison with an advanced wideband synthesizer integrated circuits (IC) is also presented. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
