    摘要: It is provided a radio oscillating system for oscillating a radio signal. The system has an optical modulator for oscillation, a modulating means for inputting a modulating signal of a frequency of fm into the optical modulator to modulate a carrier wave so as to interpose sideband waves onto the carrier wave at positions shifted with respect to the frequency of the carrier wave by the frequency "fm"; and an optical receiver for oscillation for receiving beam from the optical modulator and converting the beam into an electrical signal. The system further has a radiating means for radiating radio signal of a frequency of 2fm based on the electrical signal. An input voltage Vp-p applied on the optical modulator is 1.0 times or more and 1.99 times or less of a half-wavelength voltage Vπ of the optical modulator.
