Abstract
Photonic integration is very promising to bring down volume and weight of phased-array beamforming networks. In addition, photonics allows for increased functionality for wide bandwidth systems. In this paper we demonstrate the feasibiÌity of phase and amplitude control of a 16-elernent phased-array antenna with a single InP integrated circuit. The concept and design of an optical phase locked loop will be explained. Results of initial true-time delay experirnents will also be shown.
