Introduction: Radio-over-fibre (RoF) techniques are attracting much attention from manufacturers and radio network operators for the deployment of flexible and cost-effective radio access systems. For the emerging broadband wireless standards, operating at carrier frequencies beyond 5 GHz, one of the main challenges of RoF techniques is the generation and remote delivery of microwave signals to...

The generation of continuously tunable optical delays and tunable phase shifts is a key element in microwave photonics. Among the targeted applications, one can quote the filtering of microwave signals, the synchronization of optoelectronics oscillators, and the control of optically fed phased array antennas. With these applications in view, large efforts are currently done in order to develop ...

It seems possible that Solid-State Radio Frequency (RF) transistors will one day replace magnetrons in consumer microwave ovens. These new ovens have the potential to be smaller and more energy efficient. Because they are closed loop systems, can precisely cook food ways consumers not seen before. This review outlines basics of RF systems currently available. There two approaches for this techn...

Recently, there has been growing interest in using silicon-based integrated circuits at high microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. The high level of integration offered by silicon enables numerous new topologies and architectures for low-cost reliable SoC applications at microwave and millimeter-wave bands, such as broadband wireless access (e.g., WiMax), vehicular radars at 24GHz and 77GH...
