Abstract :
A new technique has been developed to achieve phase conjugation in the microwave and millimeter wave regime. Using optically interconnected microwave mixing circuits in conjunction with one-dimensional array antennas, two-dimensional free space phase conjugation at 10.24 GHz has been observed and verified by directly measuring the electric field amplitude and phase distribution under various conditions.
