This book is the first authored in the area of microwave photonics. It presents an overview of techniques developed in the last 30 years in microwave photonics. The topics covered include: photonics generation of microwave signals, photonics processing of microwave signals, photonics distribution of microwave signals, photonic generation and distribution of UWB signals, photonics generation and processing of arbitrary microwave signals, photonic true time delay beamforming for phased array antennas, photonics-assisted instantaneous microwave frequency measurement, and photonic analog-to-digital conversion. Existing books are edited collections of articles.
