متن کاملPhotonic dual RF beam reception of an X band phased array antenna using a photonic crystal fiber-based true-time-delay beamformer.
We report dual RF beam reception of an X band phased array antenna using a photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based delay network. Each incoming RF signal can be independently received, and the angle of arrival can be determined based on the delay time-dependent wavelength. Two RF signals with frequencies 8.4 and 12 GHz impinge upon an X-band antenna array from -7.4 degrees and -21.2 degrees . These ...

In this letter, a Photonic True Time Delay (PTTD) unit for phased array antennas is experimentally demonstrated. The PTTD unit, employing a single wavelength laser source, exploits the distributed photonic bandgap offered by a Linearly Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (LCFBG) to attain different time delays by properly actuating the physical and geometrical features of the LCFBG through temperature ...
