RF/Photonic Receiver System based on Fragmented Aperture Antennas and Rotman Lenses

Abstract

A low size weight and power (SWaP) photonic receiver system, which combines a custom-designed fragmented aperture antenna, custom Rotman lens, and commercial off the shelf (COTS) photonic devices is presented. Signal direction detection is successfully demonstrated using the photonic receiver system. The receiver system can determine angle of incidence with 5 deg. of resolution, and the frequency of an incoming signal.
