Hardware implementation of directional modulation system with a 2 element antenna array

A directional modulation system based on phase only modulation is demonstrated with a 2 element array. The hardware setup is discussed, and measurement results compared with simulations to analyze performance. We demonstrate how directional modulation offers greater security in directions other than intended, in contrast to conventional modulation.
