Abstract :
Microwave photonic and carbon nanotube links may appear separately and synergistically in future military antenna systems. As photonic and CNT link performance continues to improve, RF photonics insertion into antenna systems may expand in areas including RF pre-processing and filtering, RF front-end technology, A/D conversion, true time delay (TTD) beam forming network for both manned and unmanned ISR applications.
