Description
SA Photonics"2G-CORONA architecture is a photonic multi-beam beamformer. It supports large phase array size of 40,000 to 400,000 elements with scanning angle of +/- 60 degrees. It supports multi-beam operation of minimum 10 beams with wide frequency range of over 2 octaves covering X band as well as L, S and C bands. The 2G-CORONA architecture consists of integrated lasers/optical modulator and true time-delay units. It has ns scanning speed and sub-ps time delay accuracy. The 2G-CORONA architecture can provide significant reduction in cost, size, weight and power of the beamforming system.
