Abstract
New optoelectronic architectures are presented, based on parallel dela y lines, performing programmable filtering of microwave signals, Accor ding to current performances of optoelectronic components, they can pr ocess optically carried microwave signals over frequency bandwidths as large as 20 GHz, with a time-frequency product up to 10(3), The opera ting principle of these structures is detailed and followed by the pre liminary experimental demonstration at 1.3 GHz of a 53-dB rejection fi lter.
