Abstract :
We report hardware auto-and cross-correlation measurements of ultrawideband (UWU) RF waveforms generated photonically. Correlation peaks with widths in the SO to 100 ps range arc demonstrated, indicating that our waveform generation and processing setup operates over much of the 3.1-10.6 GHz UWB band.
