Abstract :
A design for an optical implementation of a wideband multibeam nulling antenna system is presented. The basic optical design, which consists of various electro-optical devices connected by optical fibers, can be used in either an IF-to-optical or an RF-to-optical implementation. All the required optical components are either within or slightly beyond current capabilities. In addition, the electro-optical devices have no inherent limitation that will prevent their being upgraded in several years to allow operation at frequencies well into the EHF range
