Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lecture focuses on the applications of RF photonics for array antennas in signal distribution, beamforming, beam control, and antenna remoting. Examples are given to discuss the requirements, benefits, and design approaches of photonics for phased array antennas. The first demonstration of using photonics for a dual band array was conducted in 1990. Later a wide band conformal array controlled by photonics was built and tested. This example talks about the optical control of phased arrays by using fiber-optic links for RF and data remoting and a time-shifi beamforming network for wide instantaneous bandwidth. Last, the talk will illustrate how photonics can be used to form a wide band feed system for multibeam arrays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we present a snapshot of the state of the art in photonics in 1994, showing typical applications and emerging new ones; discussing the key technologies behind these applications, their limitations, and prospects. The articles in this book are extended versions of the papers presented at the first International Conference on Applications ofPhotonic Technology (ICAPT'94), held in Toronto, Canada, on June 21-23, 1994. Photonics has been recognized as one of the key technologies for the 21 st century, as electronics was the technology of the 20th centrury and electrical engineering changed the life of people in the 19th century. According to the recent report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris (OECD), the market for photonics will grow dramatically in the next 10 years with an expected world-wide expenditure of US $230 billion from some US $30 billion in 1992. The explosion of information technology was the largest driving force for the deployment of photonic technology. It created insatiable demand for ever-higher data transmission and processing rates, which cannot be sustained by electronics alone. Boosted by the enonnous investment of the telecommunications and defense industries, the demand for photonics (or optoelectronics) is steadily increasing. It is solidly established in the long haul communications, laser printers and CD-ROMs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers the fourth year of progress of the 1997 MURI on RF Photonics for Antenna Arrays at the University of Colorado, Montana State University, George Mason University, and the University of California Davis. Novel techniques for optical control and processing of the wideband RF and microwave signals encountered in phased array antennas are being developed, guided by research in spatio-temporal adaptive processing algorithms and active quasioptical RF antenna arrays. The primary goal of this research is to develop enabling optical techniques that provide dramatic improvements in antenna array performance over conventional RF, optical, and digital techniques, allowing the efficient processing of large broadband antenna arrays. Coherent modulation and detection is made robust and practical by the use of dynamic holography in photorefractive and optical coherent transient media. This report summarizes the teams management, educational, and outreach activities, as well as technical progress in the 4th year on the constituent projects broadband adaptive optical array processing, spatio-temporal array processing algorithms, coherent-transient true-time delay, photorefractive signal extraction, optical antenna control, and polymer in-line fiber modulators.
Download or read book Spatial spectrum Estimation and Filtering of Radio Frequency Arrays Via Elemental Photonic Up conversion and Coherent Optical Processing written by Joseph C. Deroba and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method for imaging Radio-frequency (RF) side-bands about an optical carrier signal, previously devised for passive, non-coherent, imaging of millimeter wave radiation is furthered for use in coherent reception of Radio-frequency signals. Theoretical formulation of a novel photonic beam-space beam-former is presented along with relationships to traditional beam-space array theory. The photonic beam-forming system requires each element of a Radio-Frequency (RF) array be optically up-converted to a laser carrier frequency and fed through a photonic processing system, where the output beam-space is sampled using an array of photo-detectors (or a commercial camera). Specic contributions of this work allow for a more power ecient optical system, amplitude calibration of the optical chain, arbitrary apodization (or tapering) of the output beam-space and application of the receiver system to multiple simultaneous domains (e.g. active sensing and communications in one receive array). Furthermore, a novel adaptive weighting approach is presented that utilizes outputs from both a commercial camera device and an array of high-speed photo-detectors to enable array adaptivity that is shown to be of low-latency when compared to existing techniques. Several experiments are performed using prototype hardware to characterize the system, component and algorithm-level performance enabling more capable designs within future work.
