A microwave filter realized by combing a recirculating filter based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) resonator and a matched two‐arm delay line is presented. The proposed configuration can generate a flexible notch filter with a wide flat‐top passband, which overcomes the limitations of the filter‐transfer‐function range of a positive‐only taps system. An incoherent system is employed which avoids the coherent‐interference problem of photonic signal processors. The theoretical and experimental results reveal that more than 50% free spectral range can be flattened by this method, and the ripples in the passband are less than 0.5 dB. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
