Wide-Band RF Signal Processing with Optoelectronic Devices and Fiber-Optic Delay Lines

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA233388 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report discusses a new technology for processing wide-band, greater than 1 GHz, rf signals with a large dynamic range. Fiber-optic delay lines and optoelectronic devices were used to build and test a finite impulse response FIR filter and a wide-band differential amplifier. Other applications, including radar beamforming and pulse compression are described. These devices work in realtime.
