The article presents the research results of the modern radar complexes modernization possibility due to the use of methods and elements of microwave photonics in the devices of signals formation for heterodynes and transmitters of radar stations. Application of high potential active phased antenna array with multichannel spatial processing of received signals, based on the use of microwave photonics technology, will significantly improve the basic tactical and technical characteristics of the radar: range resolution, information value, detection range, noise immunity and power consumption. Realization of the listed advantages is reached by introduction of elements, functional knots and components of active phased antenna array subsystems because of electro-optical modulators and demodulators, sources and receivers of optical radiation, optical signal amplifiers, optical delay lines, fiber-optic, and optical passive elements.
