This processor can leverage the unique properties of photonics in terms of ultra-high bandwidth, high-speed operation, and low power consumption while operating in a complementary and synergistic way with electronic processors. These features are key in applications such as nextgeneration 5/6 G wireless systems where reconfigurable filtering, frequency conversion, arbitrary waveform generation, and beamforming are currently provided by microwave photonic subsystems that cannot be scaled down. Here we report the first general-purpose programmable processor with the remarkable capability to implement all the required basic functionalities of a microwave photonic system by suitable programming of its resources. The processor is fabricated in silicon photonics and incorporates the full photonic/ electronic and software stack.Reconocimiento (by)General-purpose photonic processorAdvanced radiofrequency applicationsTEORÍA DE LA SEÑAL Y COMUNICACIONESArtículo10.1038/s41467-024-45888-7Abierto38378716PMC10879507
