Electro-Optical Broadband Microwave Frequency Shifter,

Abstract

This invention provides, generally, an apparatus and niethod for arbitrarily shifting the frequency of an incoming electromagnetic signal. More specifically, this invention pertains to the use of an optical source to up-convert, filter, and downconvert an input electromagnetic signal in the microwave spectrum to shift the frequency of the electromagnetic signal that is output.
