Abstract :
A fiber-based approach for reconfigurable and single-shot chirped microwave pulse compression is proposed and demonstrated based on a time-spectrum convolution system. Different nanosecond-long, GHz-bandwidth linearly chirped microwave pulses are successfully compressed using the same platform.
