- This article reports a radio over fibre microwave frequency downconversion system with high dynamic range. This system represents a significant contribution on high-frequency RF links where high frequencies RF signals are downconverted to low frequencies where low power electronics process the signal easily, resolve the intensity adequately, and overcome major shortcomings and bandwidth restrictions of conventional electronic downconverters. This system has been developed analytically and experimentally verified. As a result of this work, funding was received from industry, Leonardo MW (Project: R11052), and it led to novelties where two patents have been fully funded by Leonardo MW (GB2580792 & GB2582199).
