Abstract
Time modulated linear antenna arrays consisting of printed dipoles above a ground plane are simulated using the flnite- difierence time-domain (FDTD) method. The FDTD method brings great convenience to the investigation of the time domain responses of the time modulated arrays. In conjunction with the near-to-far fleld transformation in time domain, the far-fleld transient response can be computed to explain the physical essence of difierent time sequences. By employing the discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and the frequency domain near-to-far fleld transformation, the radiation patterns at the frequencies of interest are obtained and are compared with the measured results. Simulation results show that the FDTD method is an efiective and accurate approach for the full-wave simulation of time modulated antenna arrays.
