Ultra-Wideband Signal Generation Based on a Silicon Segmented Mach-Zehnder Modulator

In this paper, we demonstrate a method to generate a low-chirp ultra-wideband pulse (UWB) signal based on a silicon single-drive push-pull segmented Mach-Zehnder modulator (SMZM). The concept is analyzed theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. We get positive monocycle pulses with different r...
