More specifically, the ?switch-on instants? (i.e., the time-instants when the switches commute from the open to the short circuit state) are suitably optimised to keep constant as much as possible the maximum directivity throughout the modulation period while generating an average pattern with prescribed sidelobes and mainbeam width at the working frequency.} }
