The synthesis of time-modulated arrays (TMAs) is carried out by means of a customized implementation of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), carefully taking into account in the analysis block the non-linear characteristics of the radio-frequency (RF) switches used in antenna beamforming network and the mutual coupling effects between the array elements. A set of numerical results are reported and discussed in a comparative fashion with those obtained with a state-of-the-art method limited to deal with ideal TMAs.

Abstract
The synthesis of time-modulated arrays (TMAs) is carried out by means of a customized implementation of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), carefully taking into account in the analysis block the non-linear characteristics of the radio-frequency (RF) switches used in antenna beamforming network and the mutual coupling effects between the array elements. A set of numerical results are reported and discussed in a comparative fashion with those obtained with a state-of-the-art method limited to deal with ideal TMAs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
