description We have experimentally demonstrated and characterized the generation of tunable and ultra-broadband microwave frequency combs (MFCs) based on a slave laser (SL) subject to regular pulse injection from a current modulated master laser (ML). Under modulation frequency <italic>f<sub>m</sub></italic> &#x003D; 1.2&#x00A0;GHz and modulation power <italic>P<sub>m</sub> &#x003D;</italic> 22&#x00A0;dBm, the current modulated ML is driven into a regular pulse state, and a seed MFC with 14.4&#x00A0;GHz bandwidth within a &#x00B1;5&#x00A0;dB amplitude variation can be obtained. Such a seed MFC is then injected into the SL for producing final MFC with higher performances. For a fixed detuning frequency <italic>f<sub>i</sub></italic> &#x003D; 0&#x00A0;GHz and optimized injection power <italic>P<sub>i</sub></italic> &#x003D; 2060 <italic>&#x03BC;</italic>W, the bandwidth of the final MFC is increased to 33.6&#x00A0;GHz, and the single-sideband phase noises of all comb lines of the MFC within the bandwidth can be decreased to below &#x2013;90.9&#x00A0;dBc&#x002F;Hz&#x0040;10&#x00A0;kHz. Additionally, the influences of <italic>P<sub>i</sub></italic> and <italic>f<sub>m</sub></italic> on the MFC bandwidth are also analyzed. The experimental results are in agreement with numerical simulations to a certain extent.
