Objetivos: The aim of GAIA is the development of the photonic technology required in future array antenna systems for SAR applications, covering from the optical signal distribution to the antenna, the true-time-delay control of the signal for each antenna element by using integrated photonics (PICs) both in transmission and reception, the design of the optical harness suitable for large, deployable antennas and the development of an antenna array module in X band

Apoyado por: European comission in the FP7.
