Abstract
Broadband and low loss capability of photonics has led to an ever-increasing
interest in its use for the generation, processing, control and distribution
of microwave and millimeter-wave signals for applications such as
broadband wireless access networks, sensor networks, radar, satellite
communitarians, instrumentation and warfare systems. In this tutorial,
techniques developed in the last few years in microwave photonics
are reviewed with an emphasis on the systems architectures for photonic
generation and processing of microwave signals, photonic true-time
delay beamforming, radio-over-fiber systems, and photonic analog-to-digital
conversion. Challenges in system implementation for practical applications
and new areas of research in microwave photonics are also discussed.
