Application of multicore fibers to distributed microwave signal processing. Representative fiber-wireless communications scenario for Beyond 5G and 6G, where distributed dispersion-diversity signal processing leads, for instance, to radiofrequency signal filtering, radio beam-steering in phased-array antennas, and multicavity optoelectronic oscillation.
