Abstract:
Delivering a radio frequency (RF) signal to a remote phased array antenna system involves using an optical modulator at an RF source location to modulate a high power optical carrier signal with a source RF signal S RF  so as to produce a high power transmit modulated optical carrier (TMOC) signal. An optical link communicates the high power TMOC signal to a remote antenna location, where the high power TMOC is split into N optical paths to obtain N reduced power TMOC signals. In each of the N optical paths, photodetection operations are performed upon the reduced power TMOC signal to obtain N reduced power S′ RF  signals which are then constructively combined to obtain a high power S′ RF  signal which is communicated to at least one antenna element.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , further comprising preventing distortion of S RF  signal carried by the TMOC by limiting the interaction of high optical powers with high confinement optical waveguides.
