摘要：Systems and methods for optical control of radar antenna beam steering aredescribed. An apparatus includes: a feeder waveguide; and a waveguide array

electromagnetically coupled to said feeder waveguide, said waveguide array including: aplurality arms, each of said plurality of arms including: a plasma induced modulatorhaving a transmission coefficient that is ≦1, said plasma induced modulator including: a ribwaveguide electromagnetically coupled to said feeder waveguide. The systems andmethods provide advatages in that optical beam steering is achieved with a lightweightinexpensive apparatus.
