Abstract
The up-to-the-date electrical systems for beamsteering of the phased antenna arrays are widely used; however, possessing significant drawbacks, including high losses, electromagnetic interference, and high power consumption. To overcome these challenges, microwave photonic systems, both discrete and integrated, have demonstrated outstanding potential. In this context, we discuss the two primary methods for beamsteering, i.e., true time delay (TTD) and phase shift (PS). This paper provides simulation results for a four-channel photonic integrated circuit (PIC) for beamsteering based on the TTD method. The PIC design could be implemented on any fabrication platform. The results demonstrate the approach’s feasibility and its potential to improve the performance of phased array antenna systems.
