The PIC was made through the AIM Photonics Institute and has a response from 0–45 GHz. The design encompasses a coherent beamformer that utilizes a dual-path feed network to impose an analog phased difference between two correlated, but off-set optical beams. By imposing a relative phase delay between the two beams, a phase on the RF signal is realized upon down-conversion on a monolithically integrated Germanium photodetector. Subsequently, the photodetector outputs can be fed directly to the radiating elements of the phased array antenna. Demonstration of the beamforming network will be presented.","PeriodicalId":290841,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Avionics and Vehicle Fiber-Optics and Photonics Conference (AVFOP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129907021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
