Optical Beamformer for 2-D Phased Array Antenna With Subarray Partitioning Capability

This paper proposes an optical beamforming network for a 2-D array antenna in a broad direction range with subarray antenna partitioning capability. With reasonable cost and volume, this optical true time delay beamformer offers multiple beams that are independently steered from each other, while ra...
