Abstract: An optical network (46) for providing a wideband, true time delay phased antenna array (100) with simultaneous multiple beam capability is disclosed. The network (46) is provided for connection between plural beam ports (48-52M) and plural antenna elements (20-24N) for converting a received radio frequency (RF) planar wavefront (10) to plural in-phase signals at one and only one beam port (48-52M) for each respective one of a plurality of directions of wave propagation. The converse is true for a transmitted wave. The network (46) includes a laser (30-34N) for each antenna element (20-24N) or each beam port (48-52N) modulated by RF energy which is separated and delayed via optical dividers (35-39N) connected to optical combiners (40-44M) by optical fibers (46) of different lengths. Substantially all signals then arrive in-phase at one particular beam port (48-52M) for a receiver (56-60M) receiving a wave at one particular corresponding angle.
