Abstract:
A multitap negative and positive coefficient radio-frequency transversal filter is implemented by using a digital-micromirror-device spatial light modulator for weighting-factor control and a chirped fiber Bragg grating for time-delay control. The demonstrated architecture is reconfigurable, has high speed and low loss, and is robust through digital programmability for a wide variety of filtering algorithms. A design using an interleaver for differential detection realizes an ultrahigh bandwidth with a maximum processable frequency of 33.7 GHz. A multitap low-pass filter, a negative tap notch filter with 40 dB attenuation, and a multitap negative coefficient bandpass filter are experimentally demonstrated. The results are in agreement with theory.

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
