Resumo
[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 costly variable phase shifters and mixers and require an independent feeding network per beam for multibeam operation. In this letter, we propose an innovative approach to FDA that makes use of time-modulated array (TMA) building blocks modeled with inexpensive single-pole dual-throw switches. Our approach is able to simultaneously and independently steer two dot-shaped beam patterns, over the two most significant TMA harmonics, with an almost 90% time modulation efficiency.
