Microwave Photonics

Microwave photonics is an important interdisciplinary field that, amongst a host of other benefits, enables engineers to implement new functions in microwave systems. <p>With contributions from leading experts, <i>Microwave Photonics: Devices and Applications</i> 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.</p> <p>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:</p> <ul> <li>analogue fibre-optic links;</li> <li>fibre radio technology;</li> <li>microwave photonic signal processing;</li> <li>measurement of microwave photonic components, and;</li> <li>biomedical applications.</li> </ul> <p>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.</p>
