Resumen
[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 focusing. In this letter, we propose an innovative approach to FDA using switched time-modulated arrays (TMAs) instead of VPSs. The time modulation efficiency of the combined FDA-TMA approach is over 94% when using Kaiser windows to determine the frequency offsets. Such windows have the advantage of flexibly handling the tradeoff between the beam collection efficiency and the half power beamwidth without the need of difficult optimizations.
