Abstract :
Optical and photonic techniques provide a unique capability to spatially process microwave and millimeter-wave signals in ways that will provide novel capabilities for broadband antenna array transmitter and receivers. Initial flight tests of such arrays for passive millimeter-wave imaging applications have proven successful and further work is expanding the capabilities of these arrays to RADAR and communications transceivers.
