Includes index.

"This book offers an 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 signals, photonic true time delay beamforming for phased array antennas, photonics-assisted instantaneous microwave frequency measurement, and more. Quantum microwave photonics is introduced, discussing weak signal detection and compressed sensing amongst other aspects, and analog-to-digital conversion is included, with photonic sampling and conversion systems. Written by key researchers in the field, this book is supported by a companion website for instructors, including learning objectives and questions or problems"-- Provided by publisher.
