A compact radio frequency (RF) photonic receiver consisting of several photonic integrated circuits (PIC) that performs channelization and simultaneously downconverts the signal is described. A technique is also presented to adjust the phase shifters of the arrayed waveguide grating channelizer without direct phase measurements.
