What you'll learn
- Microwave photonics occupies an unusual position in Europe’s defence-electronics base.
- The underlying proposition is technically established: radio-frequency signals can be generated, distributed, filtered, delayed, converted and combined in the optical domain, allowing functions that become increasingly difficult to perform electronically as instantaneous bandwidth, carrier frequency and array complexity rise.
- The defence question is narrower and more demanding.
