Abstract
The employment of high speed fiber-optic distribution networks for large, complex millimeter wave systems, such as large aperture phased array antennas with active transmit/receive (T/R) modules, presents a formidable challenge. Experimental results of a fiber-optic link synchronizing a millimeter wave IMPATT oscillator of an active T/R module is discussed. In addition, a novel fiber-optic time delay element suitable for beam control and signal processing is introduced. The experimental results are incorporated into a system model and examined in terms of phased array applications. Further research directions in integrated and fiber optics, leading to the ultimate realization of an optically controlled phased array antenna, are discussed.
