Abstract :
Microwave photonic link technology suitable for shipboard RF antenna applications is presented. High performance narrowband (sub-octave) direct modulation links designed for shipboard GPS and UHF communications antenna remoting are described along with a novel broadband (multi-octave) photonic link linearization approach
