We report the RF photonic reception and downconversion of vector modulated RF signals using a millimeter-wave coupled electrooptic phase modulator with in-plane slotted patch antennas based on SEO125 nonlinear polymer. We demonstrate experimental results with QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM millimeter-wave signals centered at 36 GHz. After downconversion to intermediate frequencies between 0.5 GHz and 2 GHz, the vector encoded signals are demodulated using an electrical signal analyzer and found to have measured error vector magnitudes below 8%. Design, simulation, fabrication, and experimental results are presented and discussed. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
