Simulation of a Ring Resonator-Based Optical Beamformer System for Phased Array Receive Antennas
A new simulator tool is described that can be used in the field of RF photonics. It has been developed on the basis of a broadband, continuously tunable optical beamformer system for phased array receive antennas. The application that is considered in this paper is airborne satellite reception of digital television. The simulator tool has been developed in LabVIEW. The simulation model comprise...
متن کاملDesign of a Ring Resonator-based Optical Beam Forming Network for Phased Array Receive Antennas
A novel squint-free ring resonator-based optical beam forming network (OBFN) for phased array antennas (PAA) is proposed. It is intended to provide broadband connectivity to airborne platforms via geostationary satellites. In this paper, we present the design of the OBFN and its control system. Our goal is to deliver large bandwidth Ku-band connectivity between antennas, mount conformal to the ...
متن کاملDesign of a S/X band Dual-Polarized Microstrip Array Antenna for Radar Application
Office of Naval Research (ONR) of U.S.A navy has been carrying out research about advanced multifunction radio frequency concept (AMRFC) to apply the Multifunction Electronic Warfare & Electronic Support (MFEW ES) system to the future navy battleship [1]. In order to that conventional radar and communication antennas need to be active phased array antennas that can provide multi-functions such ...
متن کاملArchitectures for Ku-band Broadband Airborne Satellite Communication Antennas
This paper describes different architectures for a broadband antenna for satellite communication on aircraft. The antenna is a steerable (conformal) phased array antenna in Ku-band (receive-only). First the requirements for such a system are addressed. Subsequently a number of potential architectures are discussed in detail: a) an architecture with only optical true time delays, b) an architect...
