RF POWER AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A RF amplification system which includes a RF modulation unit fed by an optical carrier and an RF input signal, the modulation unit modulating the RF input signal onto the optical carrier to produce a RF modulated optical signal an array of optical amplifiers coupled to the modulation unit for receiving and amplifying the RF modulated optical signals and a detecting unit having at least one photodetector coupled to the array of optical amplifiers for receiving and detecting the RF modulated optical signals, the at least one photodetector producing an amplified RF output in response thereto.
