Özet

A general analysis of a frequency diverse transmit array antenna with a periodic modulated pattern in range, angle and time is presented. This antenna array system makes a continuous scanning in range and angle without using any phase shifters. The scanning is achieved using the frequency diversity by inserting a small amount of progressive frequency shift to each antenna element. The theory shows that there is the same modulation pattern in time, range and angle by taking the remaining two parameters fixed. The simulation results for radiation patterns of a binomial distribution array are presented. The expressions for determining the position and the angular bearing of a target for this type of antenna array system are given. © 2007 IEEE.
