Abstract
A method and apparatus for isolating an RF signal are provided. A first RF signal is received and passed to an input of a 90 degree hybrid. An output of the 90 degree hybrid is connected to a first waveguide and a second output is connected to a second waveguide of an optical modulator. A second RF signal is received and passed to an input of a second 90 degree hybrid. An output of the second 90 degree hybrid is connected to the second waveguide and a second output is connected to the first waveguide of the optical modulator. The optical modulator is biased to produce single side band optical outputs of the RF signals. The single side band optical outputs are passed to an optical notch filter to remove one of the side band outputs. The other of the side band optical outputs is converted to an electrical signal.
