Microwave Photonics

"The book presents all parts and aspects of the area of microwave photonics, providing recent R&D results and their applications. It covers the key trends in the field, including the integration of wireless standards into novel optical architectures in particular to support high-bandwidth mobile backhauling, the support of the emerging distributed antenna standards, and techniques for enabling dynamic capacity and mobility management in converged optical/wireless networks. This way the book is useful for researchers, system engineers and also students."
-Tibor Berceli, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary

"This timely edition on microwave photonics is crucial for the further advancement on the ever-increasing need of communication technologies. Both the wireless local area network and fiber optics based long-haul communications have benefitted from the fast-growing microwave photonics. This new edition is urgently needed for the experts to catch up with the latest developments, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the general reader to taste the wide variety of modern microwave photonics technologies."
-Sheng-Lung Huang, National Taiwan University

"The book offers a broad view of the microwave photonics blooming field. The partition in chapters written by the most active researchers permits to give an accurate state of the art in many parts of the field. Broad and accurate, I think this book will be very useful for engineers and researchers entering the field."
