Abstract
An RF optical signal processing system that can provide various filter functions by way of tapped delay lines with fiber Bragg gratings, variable weight taps, positive and negative taps and a short coherent length optical source. Such an RF optical signal processing systems is advantageous over corresponding RF electronic systems and offer the increased bandwidth and lower power consumption making the RF optical signal processing system suitable for various application such as avionics and satellite communications.
