• A TMA-FDA Approach for Two-Beam Steering 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021)
      [Abstract]: Frequency diverse arrays (FDAs) allow the synthesis of dot-shaped radiated patterns in the range-angle space by applying frequency offsets to the antenna elements. Conventional FDAs are usually implemented with ...
    • Analog Beamforming Using Time-Modulated Arrays With Digitally Preprocessed Rectangular Sequences 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-03)
      [Abstract]: Conventional time-modulated arrays are based on the application of variable-width periodical rectangular pulses (easily implemented with radio frequency switches) to the individual antenna excitations. However, ...
    • Combining Switched TMAs and FDAs to Synthesize Dot-Shaped Beampatterns 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021)
      [Abstract]: The application of frequency offsets to the elements of a conventional phased array with variable phase shifters (VPSs) leads to frequency diverse arrays (FDAs) with the ability to provide range-angle spatial ...
    • Time-Modulated Arrays Controlled With Sinusoidal Pulsewidth Modulation 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020)
      [Abstract]: In this letter, sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation (PWM) is applied to the design of time-modulated arrays (TMAs). The array excitations are modulated using PWM-synthesized sine waveforms. This provides increased ...
    • Time-Modulated Arrays With Haar Wavelets 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-11)
      [Abstract]. Time-modulated arrays (TMAs) can effectively perform beamsteering over the first positive harmonic pattern by applying progressively delayed versions of stair-step approximations of a sine waveform to the antenna ...
    • Time-Modulated Multibeam Phased Arrays With Periodic Nyquist Pulses 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-12)
      [Abstract]: We present a single sideband time-modulated multibeam phased array governed by periodic Nyquist pulsed signals. A Nyquist pulse is a physically realizable approach to the ideal sinc function. Hence, its low-pass ...
    • Time-Modulated Phased Array Controlled With Nonideal Bipolar Squared Periodic Sequences 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-02)
      [Abstract]: Bipolar (±1) sequences with no zero state suit particularly well for safeguarding the switched feeding network efficiency when applied to time-modulated arrays. During the zero state of a conventional time-modulating ...
    • TMA–FDA Range-Angle Beamforming With Periodic Linear-Phase Time-Modulating Waveforms 

      Maneiro-Catoira, Roberto; Brégains, Julio; García-Naya, José A.; Castedo, Luis (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022)
      [Abstract]: Frequency diverse arrays (FDAs) provide range-angle time-invariant transmit–receive beamforming, although a fine focus of their radiation patterns is costly since high-resolution mixers and phase shifters are ...
