This novel research proposal will investigate the viability of the concept of an optically driven and optically-controlled millimeter wave phased array receiving antenna. Issues involved in bringing such a project to fruition will be investigated primarily experimentally in order to demonstrate that a microwave signal incident on a patch antenna can phase modulate an optical wave traveling beneath the gap in the patch. A goal of the project is to demonstrate gain in a simple two-element mock-up fabricated in LiNbO3.

这项新颖的研究计划将探讨光驱动和光控制毫米波相控阵接收天线概念的可行性。为了证明入射到贴片天线上的微波信号可以相位调制在贴片缝隙下传播的光波，将主要通过实验来研究使这一项目取得成果所涉及的问题。该项目的目标是在LiNbO3中制作的一个简单的双元素模型中演示增益。
