Abstract :
Microwave Photonics is a recent field of application where optical technologies can be used advantageously to solve limitations encountered in the transmission and processing of radiofrequency signals. Measurement techniques are needed to evaluate the quality of Microwave Photonic devices, subsystems and systems in order to assess their performance. This paper presents and reviews some of the most important approaches developed for different applications in this field.
