Abstract

[Abstract] Time modulation provides a simple way to control the power radiation pattern of an antenna array. By appropriately selecting the parameters of a Time-Modulated Array (TMA) it is possible to obtain a reconfigurable pencil beam adequate for wireless communications. This work focuses on the impact of a TMA on the Bit Error Ratio (BER) performance of a wireless communication receiver with a linear digital modulation. We show how the BER of such a receiver is affected by the TMA synthesis variables.
