The paper describes a time-modulated compact antenna array suitable for future 5G IoT applications. Each antenna is selectively activated in order to localize tagged objects, randomly distributed in harsh electromagnetic environments, in almost real-time. The system positively exploits a well-known property of the time-modulation technique: the simultaneous radiation at both the carrier frequency and the sideband harmonics created by the superposition of the nonlinear switches driving (or modulation) frequency. Despite their architectural simplicity, these arrays are potential candidate for modern wireless applications because of their ease of reconfiguration. This paper shows some results of a two-element array for localization purposes.

Abstract
The paper describes a time-modulated compact antenna array suitable for future 5G IoT applications. Each antenna is selectively activated in order to localize tagged objects, randomly distributed in harsh electromagnetic environments, in almost real-time. The system positively exploits a well-known property of the time-modulation technique: the simultaneous radiation at both the carrier frequency and the sideband harmonics created by the superposition of the nonlinear switches driving (or modulation) frequency. Despite their architectural simplicity, these arrays are potential candidate for modern wireless applications because of their ease of reconfiguration. This paper shows some results of a two-element array for localization purposes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
