Abstract

An L-band 96-element array controlled by photonics was developed and tested. A time shift beamforming network provides a 50% instantaneous bandwidth (850 MHz-1400 MHz). The antenna beam was scanned to +/- 60$DEG without beam squint over the entire bandwidth. A nanosecond impulse response has been measured to demonstrate a range resolution of better than 30 cm for target ID and imaging.
