New paradigms for high-resolution microwave photonic signal processing.

在当今社会，不断增加的带宽需求是一股无情的推动力。因此，提供能够对高速信号进行最佳调节的系统面临着前所未有的挑战。许多系统不仅携带所需信息，还携带高电平干扰信号。为了在对所需信号的影响最小的同时主动解决不同的干扰，可调干扰抑制是必不可少的。该项目中的新型动态可重构光子信号处理器在科学、商业和安全服务方面具有重要的应用。这一成果在增强光纤馈电分布式天线系统方面有广泛的用途，在射电天文学和国防雷达系统领域具有国家利益。

In today's society there is an unrelenting push for increasing bandwidth requirements. Thus there are unprecedented challenges to provide systems that can optimally condition high-speed signals. Many systems carry not only the desired information but also high-level interference signals. Tunable interference mitigation is essential to address different interferers actively while having minimal impact on the required signal. The new dynamically reconfigurable photonic signal processors in this project have important applications for science, business and security services. The results have widespread uses in enhancing fibre-fed distributed antenna systems, with national benefits in the fields of radioastronomy and radar systems in defence.
