Abstract :
Microwave photonics is used to describe the study of high-speed photonic devices operating at microwave or millimeter-wave frequencies and their use in microwave or photonic system applications, and it is the interface between microwaves, ultrafast electronics, and photonic technologies. Optical signal processing and the use of pico- and femto-second optical pulses from mode-locked lasers are examples to elucidate the start of microwave photonics. Thus today, microwave photonics is the key subject of the MTT-S Microwave Photonics Technical Committee (MTT-3) and Photonic Society to discuss its applications and system oriented where typical investigations include, for example, high-speed and microwave signal generation, processing, and conversion as well as the distribution and transmission of microwave signals via broadband optical links. Consequently, the promotion of microwave photonics is being carried out through a variety of technical activities.
