Abstract

A phase conjugation based method for full-duplex digital communications is discussed. The method uses a spatially confined and directive antenna pattern while a full-duplex digital communications link is maintained between moving platforms. The communications ability of the array is based on processing the phase associated with the message and the phase associated with the platform´s motion separately. Preliminary measurements at 6 GHz indicate that the phase conjugation method does allow simultaneous tracking and communications
