<p>We report a broadband RF channelizer based on an integrated optical frequency Kerr micro-comb source, with an RF channelizing bandwidth of 90 GHz, a high RF spectral slice resolution of 1.04 GHz, and experimentally verify the RF performance up to 19 GHz. This approach of realizing RF channelizers offers reduced complexity, size, and potential cost for a wide range of applications to microwave signal detection.</p
