Photonics for Radar Networks and Electronic Warfare Systems

This is the first book to describe the potential for microwave photonics in radar and electronic warfare systems. It covers basic concepts and functions (RF transport in optical fibre, photonics-based RF signal generation/upconversion and analogue-to-digital conversion/downconversion, optical beam forming and optical RF filtering). It compares performance with conventional systems, describes their impact on digital signal processing, and explores integration issues. This book is essential reading for designers and researchers of radar and electronic warfare systems.
