Infos

Microwave photonics is an important interdisciplinary field that,
amongst a host of other benefits, enables engineers to implement
new functions in microwave systems.

With contributions from leading experts, Microwave Photonics:
Devices and Applications explores this rapidly developing
discipline. It bridges a gap between microwave and photonic
engineering, providing an accessible interpretation of the current
available research material and a detailed introduction to various
aspects of the area.

Opening with an overview to the subject, this book covers direct
modulation, photonic oscillators for THz signal generation, and
terahertz sources. It takes a unique application- focused approach
and describes:

* analogue fibre-optic links;

* fibre radio technology;

* microwave photonic signal processing;

* measurement of microwave photonic components, and;

* biomedical applications.

This text is ideal for practising microwave and fibre optics
communication engineers wishing to improve their knowledge, and for
researchers and graduate students wanting an overview of the
subject.
