In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a method to generate a frequency-doubling photonic 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM) vector millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal by using a single phase modulator (PM) with an amplitude and phase precoding technique. The PM is driven by a 2-Gbaud 16Q...
