Advanced phonic techniques, especially the recent advancement in photonic components, have enabled the generation of microwave and mm-wave signals at high frequencies with ultra-low phase noise in the last few years.In this thesis, techniques of photonic external modulation frequency-multiplication and the performance of the system are investigated, with an emphasis on achieving high-quality microwave or millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals with low phase noise. In this thesis, after analyzing the working principle of Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM), we proposed a novel scheme for frequency-multiplication generation of microwave or mm-wave signals. The scheme, using three cascaded MZMs, can generate a frequency 6-tupling, 12-tupling and 18-tupling microwave or mm-wave signals by setting the dc bias voltage and the amplitude and phase difference of RF drive signal. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that extinction ratio of the MZM, dc bias voltage and the amplitude of RF drive signal affect the quality of generation mm-wave. Then the system for photonic frequency-quadrupling and frequency-octupling generations of microwave signals is studied by experiments. In the case that the frequency of RF drive signal is 3GHz, it realizes the generation of 12GHz and 24GHz microwave signals. The system of photonic frequency-quadrupling is simple and don’t need the filter. The optical sideband suppression ratio (OSSR) of output optical spectrum is better than 15dB and the electrical spurious suppression ratio (ESSR) of output signal spectrum is better 25dB. And system of photonic frequency-octupling uses the fiber bragg grating (FBG) to suppress the sidebands near the center of carrier. The OSSR of output optical spectrum is better than
