Abstract:
Abstract: Biomimetic photonics extract the good design of nature and mimic it with
photonics. The weakly electric fish genus, Eigenmannia, has a unique neural algorithm –
jamming avoidance response, to facilitate their survival in the deep dark ocean, by
automatically adjusts the local transmitter carrier frequency to move away from the jamming
frequency when it is within the jamming spectral range. Examining our own wireless
microwave systems, the situation of inadvertent jamming is very similar as that in
Eigenmannia. In this article, a biomimetic photonic approach inspired by the jamming
avoidance response in a weakly electric fish genus, Eigenmannia, is naturally adopted to
experimentally tackle signal jamming in wireless systems. Mimicking the system with
photonics enables the proposed scheme to work for frequencies from hundreds of MHz to
tens of GHz
