Advantages of Serial-feed Optically Controlled Antenna Systems
Minimum number of optical components:
- One laser, one EO modulator, one delay element controls sub-array.
True time delays:
- Broadband, multi-frequency operation.
Fully programmable at a remote source:
- Form any wave-front by programming amplitude and time delay for each element.
- Dynamic focusing and targeting.
- 2D beam steering.
