Abstract
Disclosed is a device which constitutes a photonic phased array antenna. The device includes at least one light source, an optical power distributor configured to distribute a light wave generating from the light source, a phase controller configured a phase of the light wave, and a light wave radiator configured to radiate the light wave into a space based on the controlled phase. Optical waveguides are connected between the light source and the optical power distributor, between the optical power distributor and the phase controller and between the phase controller and the light wave radiator, respectively.
