Abstract :
We describe our recent achievements in integration of narrowband photonic RF receivers and discuss ultimate parameters of the devices. The best sensitivity and the spurious free dynamic range achieved in current built of our coherent receiver approaches −145 dBm/Hz and 90 dB/Hz^(⅔) respectively. We plan to improve these values to −164 dBm/Hz and 105 dB/Hz^(⅔) in the next generation, while keeping the 13.5×8.5×4.7 mm form factor intact.
