Photonic structures in the microwave band and their applications

The possibility to utilize microwave photonic structures for measurement parameters of nanometer films and for creating on their base functional devices of microwave electronics has been shown. A wideband waveguide matched load on the base of waveguide photonic crystal has been described. Microwave filers with transmittance controlled from –1.5 dB to – 25 dB by changing the PIN-diodes bias voltage from 0 to 700 mV have been constructed.
