We analytically calculate and discuss the radio‐frequency spectrum of the so called Akhmediev breathers (ABs), a class of nonlinear solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation that governs the propagation in a single mode optical fiber. We propose a practical application of ABs to the field of ultra‐wideband pulse generation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 56:664–667, 2014
