Abstract

We consider beamforming arrangement for ultrawideband antenna array that can currently provide the required true time delay capabilities by using the units and elements available at the market of modern components of fiber-optical telecommunication systems. The essential parameters of accessible analog microwave photonic link’s main components as well as performance characteristics of the complete photonic link assembly have been measured. The beamformer scheme based on true-time-delay technique, DWDM technology and fiber chromatic dispersion has been designed. The developed and tentatively investigated beamformer model is mainly composed of commercial microwave photonic components. The results of beamformer model experimental testing jointly with the wideband linear antenna array in 6–15 GHz frequency range show no squint effect while steering the antenna pattern and good accordance with the calculation estimates.
