Abstract
We add two references in which a similar silicon-based optical true time delay line structure is proposed for potential applications in microwave antenna.

In our paper [1], we missed two prior publications in which the N-bit programmable silicon photonics time delay unit was proposed for use as a reconfigurable optical controller for microwave antennae [2, 3]. Although the basic structure is similar, our work is more focused on the experimental demonstration of a real device.
