Abstract :
A novel photonic technique for microwave frequency measurement utilizing dispersion in a multichannel chirped fiber Bragg grating is presented. The technique is based on the amplitude comparison of power fading functions generated by double sideband modulated optical carriers propagating through a dispersive medium
