This paper presents a demonstration an ultra-broadband photonic antenna. The antenna utilizes external optical intensity modulators and optic fiber to photonically remotes the Aperture Stacked Patch antennas and replaces microwave diplexers with simple photonic combination. The resulting photonic antenna is demonstrated to provide a bandwidth of 110% with gain of 7 dBi.
