Abstract :
In this paper, the radiation characteristics of frequency diverse array (FDA) are explored by EM simulation. An intuitive beam scanning feature is observed from the transient field simulation results. The scanning speed is proved to be related to the frequency increment between two neighboring elements. Moreover, the relation between beam angle and time is derived for pulsed applications and verified mathematically.
