Recirculating photonic filter: a wavelength-selective time delay for phased-array antennas and wavelength code-division multiple access.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel wavelength-selective photonic time-delay filter is proposed and demonstrated. The device consists of an optical phased-array waveguide grating in a recirculating feedback configuration. It can function as a true-time-delay generator for squint-free beam steering in optically controlled phased-array antennas and as an encoding-decoding filter for wavelength code-division multiple access.

New wavelength division multiplexing true-time-delay network for wideband phased array antennas
Abstract. Phased array antennas (PAAs) offer many advantages including steering without physical movement, accurate beam pointing, increased scan flexibility in two dimensions, precise PAA element phase and amplitude control to obtain low sidelobes, and reduced power consumption and weight. The complexity associated with controlling the many thousand array elements, while handling the broad ban...
متن کاملPhotonic Filter True-Time Delay
Photonic microwave true-time delay eliminates the beam squint problem in broadband phased-array antenna. However the large insertion losses associated with the optical switching network that selects the appropriate delay line is a serious limitation. We have previously demonstrated a unique photonic filter that uses the optical carrier wavelength in the 1550 nm wavelength band to select the des...
