Abstract :
A dual-beam dual-band multibeamformer using multichannel chirped fiber grating (MCFG) is proposed in this paper. Simulation results shown that it could form two beams, which could be operated squint-free, and independent from each other while transmitting different data streams. Moreover, the use of MCFG reduced the system complexity and components requirement greatly in comparison with other proposed methods.
