We propose and demonstrate a fiber-optic incoherent signal processing scheme to achieve extraordinary dispersion amounts on arbitrary microwave signals with bandwidths over tens of GHz. Using this new scheme, we experimentally achieve microwave dispersion values approaching 24 ns/GHz (equivalent to the dispersion induced by a section of standard single-mode fiber with a length of similar to 185,000 km). The scheme is used for real-time Fourier transformation (linear frequency-to-time mapping) of nanosecond-long microwave signals, including a square-like waveform, a sinusoidal pulse and a double pulse waveform, with bandwidths over 20 GHz.
