Abstract
This thesis presents the principles and a demonstration of optical ring resonator
(ORR)-based broadband photonic beam former for phased array antennas. In
Chapter 1 an introduction of RF photonics is given. The SMART and BPB projects
are summarized, which are aimed for the development of ORR-based broadband
photonic beam former for phased array antennas. In the SMART project the antenna
is used for the aeronautic communication of Ku-band signals; in the BPB project the
antenna is part of a radio telescope which is used for astronomical research.
