Abstract

Microwave photonic signal generation schemes based on the frequency to time mapping and external modulation are reviewed. We concentrate on those configurations that can provide tunability of frequency, phase of signal, modulation formats (i.e., 2PSK, 2FSK, etc.), as well as pulse shapes (i.e., UWBs-, triangle- and arbitrary-shaped, etc.).
