Abstract
Optical methods are considered for processing large arrays of electric al signals in real time. Principal attention is directed at describing the functional components and optical processors that make it possibl e to perform multichannel spectral analysis of the signals of antenna arrays. It is shown that, in the case of large arrays of phase-matched signals, optical processors make it possible to determine the directi on to the signal source in real time.
