Abstract

Abstract A wide-band electro-optic direction-finding (DF) processor employing a network of fiber optic delay lines is described. This DF filter offers a potential instantaneous bandwidth of 20 GHz and allows for multiple, simultaneous beam-angular responses with peaks that are independent of frequency. Preliminary results of an eight-laser feasibility test model DF device with two transversal filters show good agreement between predicted and measured angular responses. This experimental matched-delay filter operates in the 200–1,000 MHz frequency range and can simultaneously monitor two angles of arrival. The laboratory results obtained in this investigation suggest that the fiber optics matched-delay filter can be useful for wide-band direction finding.
