Abstract :
Phased array antennas can cause signal dispersion due, for example, to differences in path length from each array element to the target. This paper presents an efficient technique for including dispersive effects in time domain analysis. A benefit is that a single time domain analysis can then be used to simultaneously capture both non-linear and dispersive effects caused by an array antenna on a given signal.
