The book is organized into four parts. The first begins with a historical perspective of microwave photonics, listing the advantages of fiber optic links and delineating analog vs. digital links. The second section covers basic principles associated with microwave photonics in both the RF and optical domains. The third focuses on analog modulation formats--starting with a concept, deriving the RF performance metrics from basic physical models, and then analyzing issues specific to each format. The final part examines applications of microwave photonics, including analog receive-mode systems, high-power photodiodes applications, radio astronomy, and arbitrary waveform generation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers fundamental concepts including basic treatments of noise, sources of distortion and propagation effects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides design equations in easy-to-use forms as quick reference\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines analog photonic link architectures along with their application to RF systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e A thorough treatment of microwave photonics, \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Microwave Photonics\u003c\/i\u003e will be an essential resource in the laboratory, field, or during design meetings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The authors have more than 55 years of combined professional experience in microwave photonics and have published more than 250 associated works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e V.
