Research abstract
The objective of this proposal is to develop chip-scale photonic true time delay modules with RF inputs and outputs that are suitable for use in large antenna arrays by using hybrid silicon photonics. Aurrion Inc. has been working to bring to market, for both commercial and military purposes, the hybrid silicon photonics technology originally developed at the University of California at Santa Barbara. This prior work leads us to believe that hybrid silicon photonics is a near perfect match to the objectives of this solicitation for technology that supports an electronically steered, wideband antenna array architecture capable of large scan angles, high dynamic range and with packaging and integration suitable for a producible and affordable radar design.
