Vilcot A., Cabon B., Chazelas J. (Eds.) Microwave Photonics: From Components to Applications and Systems

Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003. — 580 p. — ISBN: 1-4020-7362-3.Microwave Photonics: from Components to Applications and Systems deals with the rapidly growing area of Microwave Photonics, and includes an extended study of the interactions between optical signals and microwave (f > 1GHz) and millimeter-wave (f > 30 GHz) electrical signals for broadband applications. Today, the large development of photonic devices and technologies leads to an ever-increasing interest in this cross-disciplinary field. This book covers all aspects of the field of microwave photonics, including components, modeling methods, circuits and broadband systems for a wide variety of applications, such as telecommunications, radar and wireless systems.
The authors of the topics presented in this book include key-note specialists from Europe, Israel, and the United States.
This manual is targeted at Research and Development, engineers in industry, postgraduate students, and all profess ff ionals interested in the use of photonics in microwave and millimeter-wave wide band applications.Microwave photonics components
