Abstract
The principle of operation of the wideband tunable delay line for microwave signals is presented. Delay is performed after the transfer of the microwave signal to the optical frequency domain. The configuration of the delay line model is described. Bandwidth, losses, and distortion characteristics of the delay line model are experimentally determined.
