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.engAntenna arraysDigital communicationsTime-modulated arrayLinear digital modulationjournal articleopen access10.1080/09205071.2015.1075908
