Abstract
Taking advantage of the broad bandwidth and the low attenuation of optical waveguides, photonic antennas can be remotely fed. We present an active integrated photonic antenna array with an photonic feeding network that can be fed over tens of kilometers using single-mode fiber. The influence of dispersive effects in optical domain on the antenna pattern is researched and discussed. Measurement results are presented. Additionally, error-free data transmission over such a system is demonstrated.
