1st Edition
by Stavros Iezekiel (Editor)
Microwave photonics is an important interdisciplinary field that, amongst a host of other benefits, enables engineers to implement new functions in microwave systems.
With contributions from leading experts, Microwave Photonics: Devices and Applications
explores this rapidly developing discipline. It bridges a gap between
microwave and photonic engineering, providing an accessible
interpretation of the current available research material and a detailed
introduction to various aspects of the area.
Opening with an
overview to the subject, this book covers direct modulation, photonic
oscillators for THz signal generation, and terahertz sources. It takes a
unique application- focused approach and describes:
- analogue fibre-optic links;
- fibre radio technology;
- microwave photonic signal processing;
- measurement of microwave photonic components, and;
- biomedical applications.
This
text is ideal for practising microwave and fibre optics communication
engineers wishing to improve their knowledge, and for researchers and
graduate students wanting an overview of the subject.
