How Radar jamming actually works

@Ak01 @Oscar I have a question and please forgive me for my severe lack of knowledge. Looking at modern EW environments and the growing interest in photonic-based architectures, do you see RFoF eventually replacing most internal RF distribution in next-generation AESA radars? Or do you think coaxial cable will remain indispensable for the final connections to T/R modules?

Two different needs
One is “x” mode of transporting signals needs to be able to reduce loss and then the other is making sure it can take the stresses of combat flight.

Second is connections - not the link itself.

Rfof are light(pun intended) but their connectors are not

So it goes hybrid where for distribution within radar and over longer distances you are good with fiber and then last mile connections needed in a compact area you still have coax
