Straight forward analysis and design of the near-field direct antenna modulation

TL;DR: To find the field of view and analyze the NFDAM system, an analytical and straight forward approach for the radiation pattern and bit error rate spatial distribution is presented and an expression is also proposed for calculating the input impedance for each symbol.
Abstract: Full analysis with straight forward approach and a general procedure for designing the near-field direct antenna modulation (NFDAM) system is presented. In this paper, the required formulas are derived for calculating the Z-matrix elements of the NFDAM system and then, by using them, a set of switching combinations for the desired modulation is chosen. Also, to find the field of view and analyze the NFDAM system, an analytical and straight forward approach for the radiation pattern and bit error rate spatial distribution is presented. In addition, since the input impedance of the NFDAM system changes by changing the switching combination, an expression is also proposed for calculating the input impedance for each symbol. Furthermore, the design process and finally, two examples of designing the NFADM system are given. All calculated results are compared and validated with different simulations, to evaluate the proposed analysis and design. All simulations show the high accuracy of the proposed analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a directional modulation (DM) technique using a phased array to produce the modulation is presented, where the desired amplitude and phase of each symbol in a digital modulation scheme can be produced in a given direction with data rates determined by the switching speed of the phase shifters.
Abstract: A directional modulation (DM) technique using a phased array to produce the modulation is presented. By phase shifting each element correctly, the desired amplitude and phase of each symbol in a digital modulation scheme can be produced in a given direction with data rates determined by the switching speed of the phase shifters. Because this signal is direction-dependent, the technique offers security, as the signal can be purposely distorted in other directions. DM also enables an array to send independent data in multiple directions. When using an array with driven elements, the phase shifts can be determined from simple calculations rather than time-consuming simulations or measurements. Mathematical analysis and experimental results are presented.
