The transponder can be used for different purposes, but two main application areas are presented in this paper: 1. Usage as an artificial target with applications in radar calibration and 2.

We propose to apply signal combining and interference cancellation technologies across multiple base stations in UNB networks, in order to take advantage of their spatial diversity. We evaluate and compare the performance enhancement of each technology, compared to single BS case. These technologies exploiting multi-BS diversity are proved to be significantly beneficial in improving UNB networks’ scalability. We can gain until 28 times better performance with one iteration global SIC.

It is principally based on Uzkov’s theory, who define the possibility to obtain a high directivity in order of $N^{2}$ in a desired direction by linearly associating a large number N of radiators closely spaced. A first study is made by exciting monopoles by specific currents excitation in magnitude and phase to obtain a superdirectivity reconfigurable in a desired direction. Secondly, to reduce until eliminate mutual coupling between monopoles, we excite one of monopole by a & [1]. However, the most significant works for a large number of associating radiators is from I.Uzkov [2], who states in 1946 the possibility to make a superdirectivity, meaning a directivity in order of $N^{2}$, by linearly associating a larger number N of closely spaced radiating elements. Then, he showed from equations (1) and (2) defined below that this directivity can be in a desired direction $(theta ,varphi )$ when radiating elements are properly excited. unit current and loaded the other one by an impedance determined from uzkov’s theory. Simulator Ansys HFSS is used to calculated impedance matrix $H_{mn}$ of monopoles antennas array and then currents excitation coefficients $a_{{0} {n}}$ used after to determine impedance $Z_{load}$. Simulations show approximately similar results in the 2 cases with a reconfigurable directivity a least in around of $8 . 5 dB$ in a desired direction.","PeriodicalId":112989,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128668667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method is called Spectral Ray Tracking (SRT) and uses the PWS of the source fields truncated by the guide or cavity aperture. Fields at any observation point in any complex media are expressed as a discrete sum of all contributions from ray tubes, which are tracked within the propagation environment following the usual Geometrical Optics rules. The calibration uses an adaptive calculus method in the context of the multiple reflections that is faster and less hungry in memory space than fixed sampling rate used in classic methods. Moreover, it shows promising of numerical efficiency and precision.","PeriodicalId":112989,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Antenna Measurements & Applications (CAMA)","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132750663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regulatory limits for unwanted Radio Frequency (RF) emissions are currently set in terms of Total Radiated Power (TRP). With no antenna connectors, Over-the-Air (OTA) methods for TRP of unwanted emissions are needed. Major challenges are: large number of angular points for electrically large devices at mm-wave frequencies, and large number of possible antenna configurations per frequency.
