      MethodDifficulty in implementationAdvantageDisadvantage
      Non-coherent reception method based on optical filter banksThe optical filter is required to have a steep roll-off factor and a stable center frequencySimple structurePhase information loss, non-tunable operating bandwidth, highly environmentally sensitive
      Coherent channelization reception method based on multiple oscillatorsThe optical filter is required to have a steep roll-off factor and a stable center frequencySimple structure, homodyne receptionNon-tunable operating bandwidth, highly sensitive to the environment
      Coherent channelization reception method based on dual OFCsThe generation of high-quality optical frequency combs is not straightforwardHomodyne receptionPoor OFC stability
      Acousto-optic frequency shifter-based microwave photonic channelized receiverNAStructure simple, high channelization efficiency, high energy utilization rate, homodyne reception, flexible tunability of operating bandwidthLimited by the frequency shift bandwidth, AOM requires high power to drive
