摘要: Four-dimensional (4-D) antenna arrays are formed by introducing a fourth dimension, time, into traditional arrays. In this paper, time-modulated 4-D array with constant instantaneous directivity is proposed for directional modulation. The main idea that the transmits correct signal without time modulation in desired direction, while transmitting signals other directions. As longs as frequency less than bandwidth of transmitted signal, cannot be demodulated correctly due to aliasing effect, implying go distorted. Thus, can used transmit direction-dependent secure wireless communications. verified experiments based on AM transmission through array. Moreover, BPSK studied and bit error rate (BER) performance investigated. Simulation results show BERs (TM-BPSK) sidelobes much higher those almost keep unchanged even under SNR. Finally, two enhanced methods presented improve feasibility using random sequences frequency.
