Development and demonstration of the Westinghouse hardware-compressive true time delay (TTD) fiber optic system

We describe the development and antenna range demonstration of the Westinghouse fiber optic wavelength-multiplexed true time delay steering system for use with broadband phased array antennas. The prototype system is based on a unique hardware compressive architecture and can drive 16 antenna elements over the 0.32 to 2.1 GHz band with 6-bit angular resolution over a +/- 45 degree(s) scan angle.© (1994) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
