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.
