Abstract :
A holographically-cohered approach to the all-optical implementation of time-delay-and-sum array processing for large, wideband adaptive-beamforming and jammer-nulling antenna arrays that requires only two coherent-fiber tapped-delay-lines with 20 GHz squint-free bandwidth capability is presented.
