Two-dimensional optical architectures for the receive mode of phased-array antennas

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate two optical architectures that process the receive mode of a p × p element phased-array antenna. The architectures are based on free-space propagation and switching of the channelized optical carriers of microwave signals. With the first architecture a direct transposition of the received signals in the optical domain is assumed. The second architecture is based on the optical generation and distribution of a microwave local oscillator matched in frequency and direction. Preliminary experimental results at microwave frequencies of ∼3 GHz are presented.
