Optical Processing of Microwave Signals - Part B

Abstract

The availability of optoelectronic components operating up to 20 GHz brings attractive perspectives for optical processing of microwave signals. Furtherinore optically carried microwave signals can experience large time delays, especially in fiber based systems, providing time-frequency products in the range between 100 and 1000. Owing to their inherent parallel processing capabilities, optoelectronic architectures are well suited for the implementation in radar and electronic warfare systems of basic functions such as spectrum and time delay analysis, adaptive and progranunable filtering, correlation and waveform generation.
