A Seven Bit Silicon Optical True Time Delay Line for Ka-Band Phased Array Antenna

A seven-bit optical true time delay unit with a delay tuning increment of 1.42 ps was designed and fabricated on silicon photonics platform, which can be utilized in Ka-band phased array antenna systems. The delay unit consists of eight thermo-optical switches and seven waveguide delay lines with di...
