Calculation of Sideband Radiations in Time-Modulated Volumetric Arrays and Generalization of the Power Equation

In this study, sideband radiation (SR) power calculation for time-modulated volumetric (conformal) arrays (TMVAs) is investigated and a closed form formulation is derived. The obtained formulation is combined with previous related works and a grid independent general representation of harmonic power radiation formulation is presented.
