Analog Photonic RF Transport and Front-Ends for High-Capacity Satellites
High-throughput satellites with large-scale mmwave antenna arrays face increased SWaP from RF frontends and coaxial RF signal transport to/from the processing core. We review photonic RF frontend architectures alleviating these issues, show experimental performance evaluations, and discuss their implementation with integrated photonics.
