This paper presents an overview of the research activities on photonic which are getting underway at Instituto Tecnol6gico de Aeronhtica (ITA) under the sponsorship of the Brazilian Airforce Electronic Warfare Center (CGEGAr). Acousto-optic power spectrum analyzer and integrated optic lithium niobate modulators performances are discussed based on versatile Computer aided design methods. An all optical RF oscillator comprising an integrated Mach-Zehnder type modulator and a fiber optic feedback loop is presented as a potential candidate for highly stable EW signal generator. Integrated optic modulator application on beam forming network for phased array antenna is also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
