The paper describes a time-based driving strategy of a compact antenna array suitable for future 5G IoT applications. Array elements are selectively activated in real-time for agile localization of and energy transfer to tagged objects, randomly distributed in harsh electromagnetic environments. The exploitation of time-modulation technique allows to simultaneously radiate at both the carrier frequency and the sideband harmonics due to the superposition of the nonlinear switches driving (or modulation) frequency. These arrays result in a very simple architecture if compared to standard arrays. Despite this, their characterization is not straightforward: in this paper some preliminary measurements of a two-element array for localization purposes are presented.

Abstract
The paper describes a time-based driving strategy of a compact antenna array suitable for future 5G IoT applications. Array elements are selectively activated in real-time for agile localization of and energy transfer to tagged objects, randomly distributed in harsh electromagnetic environments. The exploitation of time-modulation technique allows to simultaneously radiate at both the carrier frequency and the sideband harmonics due to the superposition of the nonlinear switches driving (or modulation) frequency. These arrays result in a very simple architecture if compared to standard arrays. Despite this, their characterization is not straightforward: in this paper some preliminary measurements of a two-element array for localization purposes are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
