Abstract :
The paper presents a review of photonic devices and technology applications in microwave systems. Four fundamental applications are discussed: transmission of microwave signals by optical links, use of photonic devices for generation and controlling of microwave signals, principles of operation of phase-arrayed antennas with photonic transmission, and finally, microwave measurements methods with photonic techniques
