Abstract

We demonstrate broadband antenna dispersion compensation and matched-filtering using microwave photonic filters implemented by optical pulse shaping. We compensate undesirable dispersion to overcome distortion introduced by nonlinear spectral phase and perform matched-filtering for waveform identification.
