摘要
The authors present the theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration of a novel single-bandpass tunable microwave filter. The filter is based on a broadband optical source and a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer and shows a high Q factor over a tuning range of 5-17 GHZ. A generalized analysis considering that the optical signal propagates along optical delay lines with a dispersion slope different from zero is presented.
