Acousto-optic architecture for two-dimensional beam scanning in phased-array antennas

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An in-line additive acousto-optic architecture for very high speed ( ͌ 0.4 μs) two-dimensional, phased- array antenna beam scanning is introduced that uses only two independent analog scan control signals. Features include up to Ku band operation, intrapulse beam forming, and multiband, wide (2-GHz) tunable bandwidth capability.
