Abstract :
A novel 3.5-GHz microwave counter using an optoelectronic harmonic heterodyne technique has been demonstrated. The system´s performance has been discussed and evaluated, and is viewed as good, in comparison with today´s microwave-counting systems. It is believed that this novel device has potential for measuring signals above 100 GHz
