From: Narrowband microwave-photonic notch filters using Brillouin-based signal transduction in silicon

Measured parameter

Description

G = −3.6 dB

RF link gain

N = −125.1 dBm/Hz

Noise floor

NF = 52.5 dB

Noise figure

OIP3 = 15.1 dBm

Output intercept point

SFDR3 = 93.6 dB Hz2/3

Spur-free dynamic range

\({P}_{{{{{{{\rm{in}}}}}}}}^{1{{{{{{\rm{dB}}}}}}}}=4.1\) dBm

1 dB compression point

CDR1dB = 125.6 dB Hz

Linear dynamic range

  1. The noise figure is given by NF = NGNin (with Nin = kBT); spur-free dynamic range is given by SFDR3 = (2/3)(OIP3N); linear dynamic range is given by \({{{{{{{\rm{CDR}}}}}}}}_{1{{{{{{\rm{dB}}}}}}}}={P}_{{{{{{{\rm{in}}}}}}}}^{1{{{{{{\rm{dB}}}}}}}}+G-N\). Intermodulation OIP3 and SFDR3 values are 4.8 dBm and 3.2 dB Hz2/3 lower than presented here, respectively.
