Abstract
Microwave photonics is an emerging interdisciplinary subject involving microwave engineering and photonics. The generation of microwave photonics is to make full use of the advantages of low loss, light weight, small size, wideband and anti-interference of photonic technology to break through the electronic bottleneck encountered in microwave engineering, thus achieving the previous failure in the analog or electrical domain. It is precisely because of these unique advantages that microwave photonics has become the focus of research and has been widely used in various fields.
