Abstract
Signal congestion and co-site interference caused by increasing RF signal demands in avionic applications make signal detection difficult. A tunable wideband microwave photonic filter is desirable in order to attenuate potentially powerful unwanted signals in an RF receiver. A photonic filter can eliminate the need for RF pre-selector filters, which must generate a cancellation signal, or RF digital notch filters, which do not have the bandwidth or high-speed sampling capabilities of an optical filter [1]. A photonic filter may also provide reductions in size and weight - an important advantage when dealing with aircraft co-site antenna mitigation. © 2012 IEEE.
