Overview of techniques in the field of microwave photonics, including recent developments in quantum microwave photonics and integrated microwave photonics

Microwave Photonics offers a comprehensive overview of the microwave photonic techniques developed in the last 30 years, covering topics such as photonics generation of microwave signals, photonics processing of microwave signals, photonics distribution of microwave signals, photonic generation and distribution of UWB signals, photonics generation and processing of arbitrary microwave waveforms, photonic true time delay beamforming for phased array antennas, photonics-assisted instantaneous microwave frequency measurement, quantum microwave photonics, analog-to-digital conversion and more.

The text is supported by a companion website for instructors, including learning objectives and questions/problems to further enhance student learning.

Written by key researchers in the field, Microwave Photonics includes information on:
* Group-velocity dispersion and nonlinear effects in fibers, light coherence in light sources, phase and intensity modulators, photodetectors, and fiber Bragg gratings
* Injection locking, phase lock loops, external modulation, opto-electronic oscillators, and array waveguide gratings
* Photonic microwave delay-line filters with negative and complex coefficients and non-uniformly spaced photonic microwave delay-line filters
* Double- and single-sideband modulation, radio over fiber networks, and microwave photonics to coherent communication systems
* UWB generation, coding, and distribution over fiber, and instantaneous microwave frequency measurement via power monitoring
* True time delay beamforming

Exploring the subject in depth, with expansive coverage of techniques developed in the last 30 years, Microwave Photonics is an essential reference for graduate students and researchers to learn microwave photonic technologies.
