A Cascaded Incoherent Spectrum Sliced Transversal Photonic Microwave Filters-An Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
--An analysis of the performance of a simple, incoherent spectrum sliced microwave photonic filter is presented. This filter structure is based on cascading of two incoherent fiber Fabry -Pérot filters as a slicing element of a broadband optical source. The filter performance is studied by measuring the overall Free Spectral Range, 3dB Bandwidth, Quality factor and Main Lobe to Sidelobe Suppression level for different modes of connecting the filter in cascaded configuration. Also simulation results are presented. The Characteristics of cascaded FP filters with different configurations are tabulated. The estimated performances show that this cascaded filter combination can be tuned over the frequency from 4.6 GHz to 18 GHz with very good sidelobe suppression level. Keywords---Fabry Perot filter, microwave photonics, photonic microwave filter, spectrum slicing, Q-factor.

Highly Tunable Photonic Microwave Filter Based on a Broadband Optical Source Sliced by Two Cascaded Fabry-Perot Filters
In this paper we have proposed a highly tunable spectrum sliced photonic microwave band pass transversal filter for microwave and millimeterwave frequency applications. This filter configuration is based on two cascaded Fabry-Perot filters with different free spectral range and a broadband optical source. The high tunability of the filter is achieved by carefully choosing free spectral range of...

A simple and low-cost spectrum sliced microwave photonic filter with high tunability has been implemented. This is based on use of two Fabry-Pérot filters with same free spectral range connected in parallel but one filter with an external fiber delay. An extension of this configuration with Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) as delay element is also demonstrated. This architecture overcomes the tuning d...

متن کاملUltrahigh-Q microwave photonic filter with tunable Q value utilizing cascaded optical-electrical feedback loops.
A microwave photonic filter with the highest reported quality factor (Q) value of 4895.31 is proposed and experimentally demonstrated by using two cascaded infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. Each IIR filter comprises both optical and electronic signals in a feedback loop and thus the loop length can be reduced without the need to consider the light coherence length. The Vernier effect ena...

We propose a novel structure of complex-tap microwave photonic filter (MPF) employing an incoherent broadband optical source (BOS) and a programmable optical spectrum processor. By tailoring the optical spectral amplitude and phase, arbitrary complex continuous-time impulse responses of the MPF can be constructed. Frequency responses with a single flat-top, highly chirped, or arbitrary-shape pa...
