Item Ultrawideband Modular RF Frontend Development for Photonically Enabled Imaging Receiver(IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters, 2024-05-07) Shi, Shouyuan; Wang, Fuquan; Abney, Jeremy; Aranda, Zion D.; Schneider, Garrett J.; Schuetz, Christopher; Harrity, Charles; Shreve, Kevin; Zablocki, Mathew; Dontamsetti, Samhit; Lawrence, Robert; Prather, Dennis W.This letter presents a modular-based RF frontend developed for photonically enabled phased-array systems that are capable of ultrawideband (UWB) operation from microwave to millimeter-wave (mmW) frequencies. The 1×8 modular architecture with integrated antennas, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and electrooptic modulators is reconfigurable and scalable to form 2-D phased arrays of any size. The developed phased-array system demonstrates the ability to process multiple wide-bandwidth RF beams simultaneously, yielding unmatched beam-bandwidth product (BBP).
