Popis: We report initial demonstrations of photonic technology meeting the stringent phase noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements for remoting radars. In particular, fiber optic links were used to remote the antenna and transmitter of the Navy AN/SPQ-9B ADM radar. The remoting links tested successfully in a transmit configuration without significantly degrading the 87 dB SNR of the radar. These results show the potential of photonic technology to remote other radars such as active arrays.
