title: Optoelectronic approach to adaptive radio-frequency transversal filter implementation with negative coefficients by using optical spectrum shaping.
abstract: A multitap negative and positive coefficient radio-frequency transversal filter is implemented by using a digital-micromirror-device spatial light modulator for weighting-factor control and a chirped fiber Bragg grating for time-delay control. The demonstrated architecture is reconfigurable, has high speed and low loss, and is robust through digital programmability for a wide variety of filtering algorithms. A design using an interleaver for differential detection realizes an ultrahigh bandwidth with a maximum processable frequency of 33.7 GHz. A multitap low-pass filter, a negative tap notch filter with 40 dB attenuation, and a multitap negative coefficient bandpass filter are experimentally demonstrated. The results are in agreement with theory.
