Synthesis of Time-modulated Planar Arrays with Controlled Harmonic Radiations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a technique for the control of the sideband radiations in timemodulated planar arrays. The proposed method is aimed at generating a desired pattern at the carrier frequency as well as reducing the power losses and the interferences related to the harmonic radiations. By acting on both the durations and the commutation instants of the time pulses controlling the element switches, the method based on a Particle Swarm Optimizer is applied. Representative results are reported and discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Time Modulated Planar Arrays Analysis and Optimization of the Sideband Radiations
In this paper, the minimization of the power losses due to undesired sideband radiations in time-modulated planar arrays is dealt with. A closed-form expression for evaluating the total power wasted in the sideband radiations is obtained and exploited to design a new procedure based on a Particle Swarm Optimizer for the synthesis of the pulse sequences devoted to control the array time-modulati...
متن کاملAn Iterative Approach for the Synthesis of Optimized Sparse Time-modulated Linear Arrays
In this paper, the synthesis of sparse time-modulated linear arrays with minimum number of elements and controlled harmonic radiations is investigated. The proposed iterative approach based on a particle swarm optimization is aimed at finding the array configuration with the minimum number of elements and the optimal pulse sequence that affords a beam pattern with the same features of a referen...
متن کاملHarmonic Beam Reconfigurations Using Particle Swarm Optimization in Time Modulated Arrays
Time-modulation (TM) arrays is implemented by using a set of radio-frequency switches in the beam forming network to modulate, by means of periodic pulse sequences to control the antenna radiation features. The on–off reconfiguration of the switches that can be easily implemented via software unavoidably generates harmonic radiations that can be suitably exploited for multiple channel communica...
متن کاملSynthesis of Simultaneous Multiple-Harmonic-Patterns in Time-Modulated Linear Antenna Arrays
In time-modulated antenna arrays (TMAAs), as a result of periodical switch-on and switchoff of the antenna elements, including operating frequency (termed as center frequency) signal, sideband signals are appeared at either sides of the center frequency in integer multiples of the modulation frequency. In this paper, it is shown that without using phase shifters, just by suitably controlling th...
متن کاملSynthesis of Antenna Arrays of Maximum Directivity for a Specified Sidelobe Level
Linear and planar antenna arrays are synthesized to have maximum directivity for a specified sidelobe level. The directivity is maximized subject to a given SLL. The beamwidth and the zeros of array factor are studied as well as the directivity. Maximum directivity-arrays are compared through some examples with super-directive, uniform, Dolph-Chebyshev and Riblet-Chebychev arrays to find a comp...
