Abstract :
A novel parallel optical delay detector is proposed for angle-of-arrival (AOA) measurement of a microwave signal with accuracy monitoring. A theoretical model is built up to analyze the proposed system, including measurement accuracy monitoring. The measurements of AOA are then experimentally investigated with monitored measurement accuracy.
