Abstract
This paper is concerned with recent developments related to optically controlled phased array antennas operating in the millimeter wave range. The antenna consists of three main elements: the central processing unit (CPU), the fiberoptic (FO) distribution system with optical signal processing capability, and the planar array. The antenna array is composed of a large number of distributed and independently powered transmit/receive (T/R) modules fabricated by monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) techniques. The function of the fiber optic distribution system is to distribute the carrier reference signals for the frequency synchronization of the T/R modules, to transmit the appropriate control signals for beam forming, and to route the information and data signals.
