Abstract: A steerable high-power microwave beam array includes an optical sub-system comprising a laser and an optical time delay unit and a parallel set of RF time delay units. The optical system and/or the RF delay subsystem are utilized to precisely delay the pulses from the microwave antenna elements to provide steerable beam forming.

Abstract: An RF frequency tuning-in-silicon photoconductive-switch-based high power microwave system including a cradle; a transmission line proximate the cradle; a photosensitive silicon material switch component also proximate the cradle; a laser light source having a varied illumination incidence location on the photosensitive material; and a laser alignment component providing the location of the illumination incidence location on the photosensitive material; whereby the inductance of the switch varies as a function of the incidence location of the illumination on the photosensitive material.
