E-Book Overview
This book reviews important achievements made in microwave photonics over the past decade presented by experienced and respected researchers. They focus on a variety of aspects involved in the generation, distribution, measurement, and control of micro- and millimeter-wave signals as well as the enabling devices and components. From optical-controlled microwave devices to optical transmitters, receivers, switching devices, detectors, and modulators, the discussion covers the theory, techniques, and technologies fueling novel and commercial applications such as radio over fiber and terahertz photonics. The expert contributors share insights on overcoming current limitations as well as on future prospects.
