Abstract
A microwave photonic configuration for multipattern control of a two-arm spiral antenna is presented. An elegant polarization diversity multiplexing scheme allows the two arms to be combined with dynamically reconfigurable amplitude and phase. Experimental demonstration of the bandwidth of the antenna and dynamic control of the radiation patterns is presented.
