PY - 2019 DA - 2019// TI - Studying key principles for design and fabrication of silicon photonic-based beamforming networks T2 - PIERS-Spring BT - PIERS-Spring SP - 745 EP - 751 KW - silicon photonics KW - TriPleX platform AB - In the paper, we address key principles for computer-aided design and fabrication of silicon-photonics-based optical beamforming network selecting the optimal approach by simulation and experimental results. To clarify the consideration, the study is conducted on the example of a widely used binary switchable silicon-nitride optical beamforming network based on TriPleX platform. Comparison of simulation results and experimental studies of the prototype shows that the relative error due to technological imperfections does not exceed 3%. According to the estimation, such an error introduces insignificant distortion in the radiation pattern of the referred antenna array.
