We investigate theoretically and experimentally the modulation instability process in a dispersion oscillating fiber characterized by an amplitude modulation of its group velocity dispersion. We developed an analytical model that allows us to calculate the parametric gain in these fibers and to predict the position of the quasi-phase matched modulation instability sidelobes. The two fundamental frequencies characterizing the dispersion profile lead to the splitting of the original multiple sidelobes generated in basic sinusoidally varying dispersion oscillating fibers. These theoretical predictions are confirmed by experiments.
