Side Lobe Modulation System and Related Techniques

摘要

Embodiments for providing side lobe modulation in a radio frequency (RF) transmitting are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an antenna side lobe is modulated to add data to the side lobe for communication with an intended recipient.

主权项

1. A system for transmitting information from a first radio frequency (RF) system to a second RF system, the system comprising:
an antenna configurable to generate an antenna radiation pattern having a main beam and a side lobe; a beamformer having an input port and a plurality of beamformer output ports, each of said plurality of beamformer output ports coupled to at least corresponding one of a like plurality of antenna ports of said antenna, said beamformer capable of changing a characteristic of the antenna side lobe so as to convey information by changing the antenna side lobe characteristic.
