摘要:
A method of beamforming a radiofrequency array having multiple antenna elements is provided. The method includes transmitting two or more sub-beams of a modulated light beam through a switched fabric, using wavelength switching to designate a respective path through the switched fabric for each sub-beam, and converting each sub-beam to a driving signal for one or more of the antenna elements or to a received signal from one or more of the antenna elements. Each path through the switched fabric has a selected cumulative true time delay.
