Smart radio-frequency filter in a tuneable optical circuit

在微波(1-100 GHz)频率范围内，高质量可调谐滤波器的巨大技术差距阻碍了向完全可重构无线系统的发展。该项目旨在解决这一限制，并利用集成微波光子学技术提供世界上第一个具有前所未有的可调范围、分辨率和选择性的可重构微波滤波器。该项目旨在生产关键的过滤技术，用于先进的无线电频谱管理和高效的带宽利用。该项目将努力对无线通信、国防和射电天文学等关键部门的几乎所有高带宽微波系统产生深远影响。

A massive technology gap of high quality tuneable filters in the microwave (1-100 GHz) frequency range is impeding advances towards fully-reconfigurable wireless systems. This project aims to address this limitation and to deliver the world's first reconfigurable microwave filter with unprecedented tuning range, resolution, and selectivity using integrated microwave photonics technology. The project aims to produce the critical filter technology for advanced radio spectrum management and efficient bandwidth utilisation. The project will endeavour to have a profound impact on virtually all high bandwidth microwave systems in key sectors such as wireless communications, defence, and radio astronomy.
