In this method a traveling wave current distribution is assumed along the vee wire scatterer that gives a reduced radar cross section. Impedance loading that satisfies this current distribution is determined. Using this method the reduced RCS is obtained over a wide frequency band. A stair case approximation of the impedance loading distribution is also studied. This approximation simplifies the loading implementation and at the same time gives nearly the same wide band behavior obtained for the original loads.","PeriodicalId":123517,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth National Radio Science Conference.

In this paper, the microwave applicator type is an aperture antenna. A group of apertures is placed around the model and they are fed by different amplitudes and phases forming a circular phased aperture antenna (CPAA). The aim is to determine the specific absorption rate (SAR) inside the simulated neck model which consists of fat and muscle regions. The equivalence principle method is applied to determine the electric field inside the muscle region in terms of the current densities at the boundary of muscle, then SAR can be obtained. The relation between the position of the maximum value of SAR and the amplitudes and phases of the CPAA elements is obtained and tabulated.","PeriodicalId":123517,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Hagras et al. (2000) showed that the performance of center sampling differential detection (CSDD) in an LMM channel yields poor performance in the presence of RFSs. The main object of this paper is to study the performance of center sampling double differential detection (CSDDD) scheme introduced in Abdelkader and Fred (1986) in an LMM channel and compare its performance with the CSDD scheme. The performance of the CSDD and CSDDD schemes are analyzed in a two path Rayleigh fading channel taking into account frequency selective fading (FSF), RFS, intersymbol interference (ISI), Doppler frequency shift, cochannel interference (CCI), and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). It is shown that the CSDDD scheme in the LMM channel has the potential to compact the effect of RFS and its performance is better than the CSDD scheme when RFSs are introduced into the carrier.","PeriodicalId":123517,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth National Radio Science Conference.

It is based on a pipeline architecture which results in parallel processing leading to very high speed. Furthermore, it uses the truncated Viterbi algorithm which results in reducing the memory size and consequently the Si area required to be integrated.","PeriodicalId":123517,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The analysis is based on representation of the structure as a transmission line in the Y-direction. The Maxwell's equations have been used to deduce the field distribution across the structure. Z/sub c/ as a function of the operating frequency is computed. The effect of the structure dimensions on Z/sub c/ is discussed.

This process of nulling out interferers has a constraint represented by the limited degrees of freedom. This puts limits on the number of requirements an array can achieve at a particular time. For instance, an N-element antenna array has N-1 degrees of freedom in its pattern. So if there are more interferers we need an array with a large number of elements. But here, we stop thinking about interferers as individual spot sources and we take into consideration their space distribution, their positions as long as their relative strengths, this is accomplished by constructing a general interference pattern and then studying this pattern to determine the optimal null positions. Next, the neural networks technique is used to adjust the array weights with their optimal values, which will give a general array pattern to meet the specified requirements. The previous process is fully described and illustrative examples are introduced.","PeriodicalId":123517,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth National Radio Science Conference.
