摘要
A photonic feed system for a four arm sinuous antenna was designed and demonstrated practically. The feed system provided four wideband 90 degrees phase shifted signals to feed the sinuous antenna. It had the ability to become reconfigured in order to receive different polarizations. This was achieved utilizing a computer based bias control and thus there was no need for any mechanical function.
