Abstract

A digital spatial modulation method has been demonstrated for a wireless power transmission system at 5.8 GHz. Interference of electromagnetic waves, which are radiated from the dual scatterers, successfully realizes the spatial modulation. The spatial modulation is performed with a digital modulation manner by controlling capacitances embedded in one of the dual scatterers so that the interference of the scattered waves is appropriately changed. Switch MMICs based on p-HEMT technology was newly developed for the spatial modulation. Measured insertion losses of the switch MMIC are 1.0 dB and 14 dB for on and off states at 5.8 GHz, respectively. The isolation is more than 20 dB. With the switch MMIC, digital spatial modulation characteristics were experimentally demonstrated at 5.8 GHz. One-bit amplitude shift keying (ASK) for 1 MHz signal was realized at 5.8 GHz, and two levels were clearly discriminated. The modulation factor is 36%. In addition, 2-bit ASK signal was detected at 7.1 GHz.
