摘要: The effect of group delay ripple on optical beam-formers using chirped fiber grating is investigated in this paper. Optical are promised to have many advantages over their electrical beam-forming counter-parts. However, mathematical analyses and simulation results shown that the causes limitations system performance, especially beam direction directivity. As a result, most advantageous feature grating, which squint-free, has be reconsidered.
