Abstract
This letter presents, for the first time, measured data on a Bragg reflection grating based fiber-optic prism true time delay processor for transmit/receive phased array beamforming. Measurements taken over a 3.5-GHz bandwidth demonstrates high resolution beamsteering and highly linear low-noise phase data. The system takes maximum advantage of component reuse and fully integrates the transmit and receive modes in one efficient hardware compressive topology.Keywords
