Photonic true-time delay for RF phased arrays

Wideband beamsteering without the squint.

Complete phased arrays that keep every frequency on target, with the lowest size, weight, and power of any known true-time delay system.

Without true-time delaybeam squints
the frequencies land in different places, so the spot smears
With true-time delayno squint
every frequency lands on the same spot

Why it matters

Phase shifters make a wideband antenna choose between seeing the whole band and steering the beam. True-time delay lets it do both.

01

Use the whole band, at any angle

02

Sharper radar detail

03

On target at every frequency

04

Change frequency without re-aiming

05

Short pulses stay intact

Our approach

True-time delay, done with light.

Each antenna channel rides on its own beam of light. The Fourier Cell delays every channel at once, so the whole band steers as one.

/ 01

Complete arrays

Antenna to beamformer, delivered as one system.

/ 02

Multi-octave bandwidth

One beam held steady across a wide instantaneous band.

/ 03

Massively parallel

Every channel delayed at once, in one compact cell.

Tailwind · shared apertures

One array for radar, electronic warfare, and communications.

Shared-aperture programs like the U.S. Navy’s Integrated Topside need squint-free wideband steering.

Where we stand

A proven architecture, coming back online.

We’re restoring the original White Cell prototype, demonstrated to TRL-6, to prove optical true-time delay in live RF.

01

Working beamformer

Restore the White Cell prototype.

02

Wideband demo

Prove squint-free steering at 12 to 40 GHz.

03

Production array

Fourier Cell plus our own antenna.

04

Fielded arrays

Radar, EW, SATCOM, counter-UAS.
