Abstract

We report a broadband RF channelizer with 92 channels using a 49 GHz soliton crystal microcomb with another high-Q MRR as a passive periodic filter with a resolution of 121.4 MHz. We achieve an instantaneous RF bandwidth of 8.08 GHz and 17.55 GHz via thermal tuning. Our approach is a significant step towards monolithically integrated photonic RF receivers with reduced complexity, size, and high performance for broadband analog signal processing and digital-compatible signal detection.
