Abstract

Wavelength-controlled true-time delay modules based on the dispersive hologram-waveguide are presented here to provide continuous beam-scanning for a X-band phased-array antenna system. The true-time delay modules operating in the 1550nm region were fabricated with continuously tunable time delays from 5ps to 64ps. All-optical wavelength conversion in the semiconductor optical amplifiers was proposed in the system to extend the beam-scanning scope from one dimension to two dimensions. The wavelength-controlled time delays were measured across the x-band (8-12GHz) in the experiment.
