Analog Signal Processing Based on Silicon-Photonics and Its Application in Microwave Photonic Frontend

Abstract

Signal processors are one of the significant elements in microwave photonic frontends，which determines the working ability of the entire system in many aspects.The silicon-photonics-based signal processors are especially attractive for their compact size and wonderful performance.The development of silicon-photonics-based signal processing for microwave photonic frontends was reviewed.
