Abstract

We review recent work on broadband RF channelizers based on integrated optical frequency Kerr microcombs combined with passive micro-ring resonator filters, with microcombs having channel spacings of 200GHz and 49GHz. This approach to realizing RF channelizers offers reduced complexity, size, and potential cost for a wide range of applications to microwave signal detection.
