abstract: This report deals with the minimization of the amount of sideband radiation on time-modulated linear arrays by taking advantage of the directive nature of radiating elements. An innovative approach is exploited to synthesis harmonic patterns with high sideband level within the ‘blind’ directions of the element factor. A set of representative numerical results is reported to illustrate the potentialities and the limitations of the proposed approach considering both sum and difference patterns.
