Phased-array-antenna control using liquid crystals

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

A novel optical control system using nematic liquid crystals and acousto-optic devices is introduced that can provide compact, lightweight, low cost, transmit/receive mode, high performance (> 8 bits), truly analog, amplitude and phase control for large phased array antennas. The system provides independent amplitude and phase calibration and control capabilities across the array.
