Microwave Photonics : From Components to Applications and Systems

Text covers all aspects of the field of microwave photonics; including components, modeling methods, circuits, and optical processing of microwave signals and broadband systems for a wide variety of applications. For researchers, developers, and engineers interested in the use of photonics in microwave and millimeter-wave band applications. Microwave Photonics: from Components to Applications and Systems deals with the rapidly growing area of Microwave Photonics, and includes an extended study of the interactions between optical signals and microwave (f > 1GHz) and millimeter-wave (f > 30 GHz) electrical signals for broadband applications. Today, the large development of photonic devices and technologies leads to an ever-increasing interest in this cross-disciplinary field. This book covers all aspects of the field of microwave photonics, including components, modeling methods, circuits and broadband systems for a wide variety of applications, such as telecommunications, radar and wireless systems. The authors of the topics presented in this book include key-note specialists from Europe, Israel, and the United States. Forty-some papers provide a review of the field of microwave photonics including components, modeling methods, circuits, optical processing of microwave signals, and broadband systems for a wide variety of applications such as telecommunications, radar, and fiber-wireless systems. New optical architectures for antenna systems are also reviewed in the applications. Intended for R&D engineers, postgraduate students, and any professionals interested in the use of photonics in microwave and millimeter-wave wide- band applications. Lacks a subject index.

It deals with the rapidly growing area of microwave photonics, and includes an extended study of the interactions between optical signals and microwave and millimetre-wave electrical signals for broadband applications. Microwave photonics is an emerging technology that may be described as the unification of microwave and photonic techniques for applications such as fibre delivery of mm-waves (c.g. in fibre radio) and high-speed fibre-optic links.
