Special Session 13  会议特别专题 13

Theory and Applications of Frequency Diverse Array

Description: Waveform Diverse Array (WDA), as an emerging array technology, has recently garnered extensive attention in the research community. By introducing waveform modulation parameters such as frequency, time and phase at the transmit end, WDA enables forming space-time-frequency coupled transmit beampatterns, thereby enhancing the degrees of freedom and signal processing flexibility of systems, bringing great application potentials to fields such as radar, communications, and electronic countermeasures. This special session aims to gather innovative research achievements from scholars worldwide in the field of WDA, exploring key challenges in its theory and applications, and ultimately promote both theoretical advancements and engineering applications of WDA technology.
