Abstract
Different from linear arrays that can resolve only one angular component, two-dimensional (2-D) array patterns enable to remove the cone of uncertainty and right/left ambiguities generated in a linear array. Motivated by this, a novel structure of 2-D time-modulated planar arrays (TMPAs) is developed to synthesize directional modulation (DM) symbols in this paper. The proposed 2-D TMPA DM transmitter can synthesize multicarrier DM symbols with suppressing the mirror harmonic frequencies and provide a higher power efficiency. This is demonstrated by way of simulations of a multi-beam 8*8 element planar antenna array and its security performance is shown via the bit error rate (BER) metric.
