摘要：

The proof-of-concept demonstration of a microwave photonic cross-connect for future telecom satellite repeaters is reported. The system includes optical distribution of a high-purity local oscillator at 26 GHz, frequency downconversion from 30 to 4 GHz, and MEMS-based optical cross-connection of microwave signals.
