This antenna consists of a rectangular wire frame, which is open circuited at the mid point of one of its sides and fed from the middle of the opposite side. A monopole version of this antenna is also possible if a ground plane is positioned in the plane perpendicular, to the plane of the antenna, passing by its axis of symmetry and containing the open circuit and the feed points. The radiation characteristics have been determined for perimeter to radius ratio p/a of 200, 400 and 600 respectively for antenna perimeters up to two wavelengths, for different ratios of rectangle sides Hb/Ha. The investigations reveal the broadbanding potential of this type of antenna.","PeriodicalId":127585,"journal":{"name":"Thirteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Our work is based on the fact that targets of different shapes have different frequency signatures. This means that each target is characterized by a special frequency dependence of the scattering cross-section. Our approach to identifying objects is based on matching the radar receiver circuit to the selected hopping frequencies which give maximum backscattering contribution for different identified targets at different look directions. Also, we suggest a single radar sensor incorporating modified techniques, MFH combined with angle diversity (AD) and cumulative matched frequency hopping (CMFH) for three-dimensional target identification. The results of a simulation study are presented showing the effectiveness of incorporating the MFH/SS technique in the radar sensor for enhancing target identification and provide the redundancy and complementarity provided by multiple sensors.","PeriodicalId":127585,"journal":{"name":"Thirteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The influence of electron injection into the plasma is found to have a great effect on increasing the extracted current to about four times its value without electron injection. The increase of extraction voltage is limited with the use of electron injection at V/sub ex/>2kV due to the presence of breakdown inside the discharge tube.","PeriodicalId":127585,"journal":{"name":"Thirteenth National Radio Science Conference.

However, the practical results indicate that the linear technique has a better performance than the counting technique. We study the dynamic behavior for the counting technique.

This paper presents a mixed statistical parametric and neural networks approach for classifiers design. Statistical parametric techniques have the advantage of being mathematically tractable but are often non-optimal due to the need of making some assumptions about the shape of the distribution of the input data samples (e.g. being a multivariate normal distribution) and the need to estimate the distribution parameters (e.g. the mean vector and the covariance matrix) from the training data. On the other hand, neural networks classifiers are model (distribution) free. Therefore, they can be used to improve the performance of an initially given statistical classifier. Computer simulation results are given that show the efficiency of the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":127585,"journal":{"name":"Thirteenth National Radio Science Conference.

The performance of the proposed system is analyzed in a two-path Rayleigh fading channel taking into account frequency-selective fading (FSF), carrier random frequency shift, intersymbol interference (ISI), Doppler frequency shift, cochannel interference (CCI) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), while the receiver (RX) rejects a specified amount of adjacent channel interference (ACI). For the interference, we adopt a model which includes N statistically independent faded CCI. It is shown that the CSDD scheme is sensitive to frequency offset and there is a significant improvement in the error rate performance by utilizing the frequency diversity inherent in the FFH system compared to other systems. Therefore, this system can accommodate more users than the others and a better spectrum efficiency can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":127585,"journal":{"name":"Thirteenth National Radio Science Conference.

Furthermore, a scaled version of the EFRLS algorithm is proposed where the computation complexity is significantly reduced. The scaled EFRLS algorithm can be realized in real time using the available digital signal processors. The convergence to the optimal solution of both the EFRLS algorithm and its scaled version is ensured while the general RLS algorithm fails to converge to the optimal solution for the multimodal performance criterion.","PeriodicalId":127585,"journal":{"name":"Thirteenth National Radio Science Conference.
