Abstract

Planar antennas are often called upon to bridge the gap between the photonics and microwave fields. Design of such antennas requires a culmination of knowledge acquired from the study of both research areas. This paper discusses the authors´ efforts in the design of novel planar antenna structures for microwave-photonics applications, which stress a high level of integration of photonics and microwave components.
