Abstract
A radio frequency subcarrier modulated wavelength-controlled dense wavelength-division-multiplexing-based photonic true time delay module, with very low phase (/spl plusmn/4/spl deg/) and magnitude (/spl plusmn/0.5 dB) ripples over a bandwidth of several gigahertz, is demonstrated to achieve wide-band linear frequency modulation transmission (600 MHz) with -37-dB sidelobe suppression and signal-to-noise exceeding 80 dB/MHz.Keywords
