The “RF – Microwave – Microwave/Photonics” Research Group in the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble INPG is led by Béatrice Cabon, and is participating in this project with activities in microwave photonics circuits and systems, RF and wireless systems, and microwave broadband devices and sub-systems. INPG will contribute to radio over fiber systems and Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless over fibre (microwave-photonics signal processing), since the study of broadband high speed devices and systems are important activities at INPG.
The role of the INPG in the project will be to develop models of the optical to RF conversion by studying the photoinduced plasma and microstrip transition (WP 3.1). For the RF to optical transition (WP3.2), various solutions will be investigated such as directly modulated laser diode or electro optical modulators in order to find high efficiency UWB modulation techniques. Limitations of laser diode and electro optical modulators will be considered in order to quantify the impact on UWB/optical transition.
The INPG will take part in the dissemination (WP 6) through workshops collocated with the IST NoE ISIS workshops.

Béatrice Cabon is coordinator of ISIS. PhD since 1986, she joined the INPG Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, Grenoble, France, where she is currently a Professor. She has contributed to over 180 technical publications in the areas of microelectronics, electronic packaging and microwave-photonics. She edited 4 books on Microwave Photonics, and has authored several book chapters. Her research interests include photonic-microwave signal processing, and optical links for high bit rate signals.
Béatrice Cabon has also significant experience in integration of knowledge. She is coordinator at the national (French) level of the club “optics and microwaves” of the French Optical Society S.F.O. She is presently coordinator of a network of excellence IST-2001-32786 “NEFERTITI”, (2002-2005) on microwave photonics with 27 European organisations from 9 countries. She will also coordinate the new IST network of excellence ISIS on the topic “broadband for all” with 19 organisations from 12 countries, over Europe, Canada and Singapore.
