Abstract:
To increase efficiency of optical control of phase shifting elements, arrangements comprising optical lenses are presented. The optical lenses may be arranged in reflective arrays so as to focus light from a light source on a phase shifting element, which may be placed in a feed point of an antenna, such as for example a lithographic antenna. In some embodiments, thus both optical controlling radiation and radio frequency, RF, power are concentrated in substantially the same place.
