Riassunto:

Microwave photonics is a rapidly growing field that lies at the intersection of microwave engineering and optics. The integration of photonics and microwave engineering has opened up new possibilities for high-speed communication, radar and sensing systems, and signal processing applications. This book contains both the basic theory and the experimental techniques to demonstrate the interdisciplinary applications of microwave photonic systems. It discusses the underlying concepts, techniques, and devices used in microwave photonics, as well as the latest advances in the photonic generation, processing, and distribution of arbitrary microwave waveforms. The role of fiber Bragg grating in microwave photonic systems is described from a dispersion compensation point of view. The book also provides a deeper understanding of microwave photonic sensor systems, highly steerable beamforming systems, and photonic excitation of antenna―the process of exciting the antenna using light or photons instead of electrical signals―with applications in aerospace, defense, telecommunication, and biomedical sensing.

Overall, microwave photonics is an interdisciplinary field that deals with the interaction between light and microwaves. Its unique features, including high-speed, low-power consumption and large bandwidth, make it an attractive technology for future applications. This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and students who are interested in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
