Two optical-beam-forming concepts selected for development of phased-array antennas. Involve use of novel combinations of optical and electronic techniques to distribute radio-frequency signal to or from antenna elements in array: phase and amplitude of radio-frequency signal traveling to or from each element controlled in such way to cause array as whole to transmit or receive signal in desired spatial pattern, steered, narrowed, broadened, or otherwise varied. Techniques result in compact, lightweight beam-steering antennas. Potential applications include steered-beam or quasi-optical microwave antennas in communication and radar systems, remote control of antennas in general, and photonic communication. With some modifications, transmitting and receiving configurations incorporated into single system.
