Dispersion microwave spectral analysis
An exact theory describing the intensity PSD of photonic signal processors based on modulated thermal sources with smooth spectrum, first-order dispersion and intensity-noise-limited direct detection is presented. The theory is applied to the evaluation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Microwave Photonic Filters (MPF) and of systems based on Incoherent Frequency-to-Time Mapping (IFTM) and Time-pectrum Convolution (TSC) driven by thermal carriers whose optical spectra (continuous or sliced)is smooth at microwave scales.
