ABSTRACT:
A spectrum analyzer subsystem for analyzing the frequency content of an RF signal including an optical source means responsive to an RF signal for generating a plurality of intensity modulated optical signals and a filter means responsive to each one of the intensity modulated optical signals for providing a plurality of output optical signals each corresponding to a respective one of the intensity modulated optical signals. Each output optical signal corresponds in intensity to the frequency content of an RF signal within a different predetermined frequency bandwidth. Detector means, which is responsive to each output optical signal converts each output optical signal into a corresponding electrical signal.
