A experimental system of a wideband optically controlled phased array antenna is presented.The paper will cover the system design and performance of an S-band 96-element array controlled by photonics.The wideband performance of the system will be highlighted.The 5-bit photonic time-delay unit based on RF switch afford wide instantaneous bandwidth.The test array patterns show no beam squints over 2.5 to 3.5 GHz range.
