TuC3.1 - IMPLEMENTING MICROWAVE PHOTONIC PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Abstract
Abstract
Microwave photonics presents significant advantages to microwave processing systems, providing performance improvements in processing functions such as wideband frequency conversion, time delay, phase shifting, and equalization. We describe recent progress in the implementation of these advances as they transition to higher technology readiness levels.
TuC3.2 - HIGH-PERFORMANCE RF PHOTONIC FILTERS USING BRILLOUIN PHOTONIC CHIPS
Abstract
Abstract
On-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has found attractive applications in high-resolution and programmable microwave signal filtering. However, the usability of Brillouin-based filters is hindered by the excessive noise induced by SBS. In this talk, we report the recent progress towards high-performance Brillouin-based RF photonic filters.
TuC3.3 - DEVELOPMENT OF A CASCADED UNIT-CELL CONSISTING OF CAPACITIVE GAPS AND CONDUCTING CYLINDERS
Abstract
Abstract
An experimental study on a sub-unit cell for leaky-wave antenna design is presented. Though, one unique aspect of this cell is the potential for embedding magneto-static responsive particles into the substrate to control the surface reactance. This new control is studied in this paper.
TuC3.4 - PHOTONIC FREQUENCY CONVERSION TECHNIQUES FOR RADAR APPLICATIONS
Abstract
Abstract
Conventionally, Radar systems use bulky mixer stages at different levels for frequency conversions. In this work, we discuss Up/Down conversion methods based on Optical heterodyne principle that reduces the complexity of modern radar systems. The work is supported with typical modeling and experimental analysis results.
