Abstract
Following an outline of established optical techniques for the generation and distribution of reference and control signals for phased array antennas, two novel approaches are put forward: (i) a nondispersive prism, controlling agile single beams or monopulse patterns, and (ii) a lens fed model array, which can control multiple, independent antenna beams. The prospects of fibre-optic transmission for other functions in the array are also considered
