In this paper, we propose a new configuration to implement transversal filters with negligible temperature sensitivity and low cost. These microwave filters are based on uniform fibre Bragg gratings as slicing elements of a broadband optical source. By using a tapered fibre Bragg grating as a delay line, we show that the temperature effects are the same over each component of the RF-filter. Therefore, it is possible a total cancellation of the thermal effects. The performance of these filters is compared to previous techniques, such as a laser array approach.
