A new optical processor for multibeam microwave transmitting array antennas is proposed by using a spatial optical processing approach. The system is based on the generation of overlapping multiple beams. A two beam experimental optical processor for producing RF signals with different phase distributions and with feeds to array antennas is demonstrated.
