Technologies and applications of microwave photonic antennas

This paper describes the development of microwave photonic antennas concepts and their applications. The experimental study of the transmitting and receiving photonic antenna are shown. The transmitting photonic antenna consists of photodiode integrated with microstrip E-shaped patch antenna, and receiving photonic antenna consists of laser diode integrated directly with the Vivaldi antenna.
