antenna systems operating at micro/mm-wave frequencies. Tunable phase shifters are
the key components of steerable antennas. The system costs would be significantly
lowered by using optical control techniques. Moreover, optical switches can offer the
advantages of continuous, quick and low power consumption and are free from EMC
issues. Here we describe and show measured data of a novel steerable antenna array
incorporating optically controlled EBG phase shifters.
