Microwave Photonics

This text deals with the rapidly growing area of microwave photonics, and includes an extended study of the interactions between optical signals and microwave (f 1 GHz) and millimeter-wave (f 30 GHz) electrical signals for broadband applications. 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, modelling methods, circuits and broadband systems for a wide variety of applications, such as telecommunications, radar and wireless systems.
