A comprehensive resource to designing and
constructing analog photonic links capable of high RF
performance
Fundamentals of Microwave Photonics provides a
comprehensive description of analog optical links from basic
principles to applications. The book is organized into four
parts. The first begins with a historical perspective of microwave
photonics, listing the advantages of fiber optic links and
delineating analog vs. digital links. The second section covers
basic principles associated with microwave photonics in both the RF
and optical domains. The third focuses on analog modulation
formats--starting with a concept, deriving the RF performance
metrics from basic physical models, and then analyzing issues
specific to each format. The final part examines applications of
microwave photonics, including analog receive-mode systems,
high-power photodiodes applications, radio astronomy, and arbitrary
waveform generation.
* Covers fundamental concepts including basic treatments of
noise, sources of distortion and propagation effects
* Provides design equations in easy-to-use forms as quick
reference
* Examines analog photonic link architectures along with their
application to RF systems
A thorough treatment of microwave photonics, Fundamentals of
Microwave Photonics will be an essential resource in the
laboratory, field, or during design meetings.
The authors have more than 55 years of combined professional
experience in microwave photonics and have published more than 250
associated works.
