High-order function waveform generation based on three-channel synthesis via image-reject mixing
Abstract:
A high-order functional waveform generation scheme based on three-channel synthesis is proposed and analyzed. Each channel comprises a Mach-Zehnder modulator, frequency shifter, and image-reject mixer. The combined output generates a waveform containing up to the sixth-order harmonics, enabling high-order waveform construction. By tuning the Mach-Zehnder modulator parameters and frequency shifts, precise control over harmonic coefficients is achieved. The proposed scheme was experimentally validated, and the results confirmed its feasibility, demonstrating the successful generation of triangular waves with a repetition frequency of 3 GHz and tunable symmetry coefficients.

Harmonic Mean
Take the example of the speed of a car, which is the measure of the rate of distance traveled. If the vehicle traverses the same distance back-and-forth, its average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, if the car moves with varying speeds, then the arithmetic mean is more skewed...
