Radio over fiber schemes using multimode lasers and dispersive optical channel show a periodic band‐pass microwave frequency response. Such a response can be used for implementing photonic microwave filters or for multiplexing modulated microwave subcarriers. The reconfiguration of the frequency response using optical retarders acting as photonic filters is demonstrated in this article. The multiplexed transmission of two data‐modulated microwave subcarriers on two adjacent transmission windows is also described. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
