Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first port for receiving an input data signal comprising first data; a bandpass waveguide interconnect having a phase response and for supporting propagation of a bandpass data signal within a predetermined frequency band along a predetermined path between a first location and a second location; a first adaptor coupled to the bandpass waveguide interconnect for exciting an input bandpass data signal comprising the first data in the bandpass waveguide interconnect proximate the first location and propagating toward the second location; a second adaptor coupled to the bandpass waveguide interconnect for extracting an output bandpass data signal from the bandpass waveguide interconnect proximate the second location; and a dispersion compensator for providing dispersion compensation to at least one of the input bandpass data signal and the output bandpass data signal for compensating for the phase response of the bandpass waveguide interconnect.
