Summary: 
A microwave photonic mixer utilizing an InGaAs photoconductor for radio over fiber applications is proposed and fabricated. Static and dynamic characteristics of the fabricated microwave photonic mixer were investigated. The microwave photonic mixer showed an optical bandwidth of approximately 300 MHz and a uniform conversion loss characteristic for the electrical input frequency up to 20 GHz.
