Optical controlled phased array radar receivers

H. R. Fetterman, Stephen R. Forrest, David V. Plant

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The National Center for Integrated Photonics Technology has a demonstration experiment to examine the role of photonics in phased array radar applications. Two test configurations are being assembled in a receiver-only mode at UCLA. These systems involve both a coherent approach using optical heterodyne detection and an incoherent implementation using real-time delays and liquid-crystal polarization switches. The basic system involves two antenna elements and three-bit resolution.>
