Novel Ring Resonator-Based Optical Beamformer System and Experimental Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel squint-free, continuously tunable beamformer mechanism for a phased array antenna system is proposed. It consists of filter-based optical single-sideband suppressed-carrier modulation, a fully integrated optical beam forming network using cascades of optical ring resonators as tunable delay elements, and balanced coherent optical detection. The proposed system brings advantages in optical bandwidth requirement, system complexity, and dynamic range, without introducing the problem of beam squint or limited tuning resolution. Some experimental results are presented in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed concept.
