Abstract
A variable time delay system for broadband phased array receive and other transversal filtering applications is disclosed and employs a segmented mirror device (SMD) and a linear fiber array to realize a quantized variable delay line. The use of the SMD allows for extremely high packing density without the large losses usually associated with switched fiber schemes.
