  • Abstract
    A novel array-antenna is proposed, where antenna element and photodiode as well as optical fiber for RF power feeding are integrated. 4×2 60GHz arrayed patch antenna is actually fabricated and it is experimentally demonstrated that the two dimensional antenna beam steering is achieved by tuning the wavelength of the optical signal.
