High-speed two-dimensional phased-array antenna scanning using acousto-optics

摘要

Abstract: A novel in-line additive acousto-optic architecture for planar phased arrays is described for two dimensional beam scanning. A concept acousto-optic processor is demonstrated in the laboratory, and the required modulo-2$pi phase control is achieved using two control signals. Up-to K$-u$/ band operation is possible with this processor.!6
