High accuracy microwave frequency measurement based on single-drive dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator

A novel approach for broadband microwave frequency measurement based on bias manipulation of a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A 10−3 relative error verifies a significant accuracy improvement by this method.
