The chessboard layout is used, where the unit cells alternate between reflective and transmissive modes. In the IOS mode, the gain of mode the reflected beam is 18.9 dBi and 15.8 dBi for the trasmitted beam. The near field focused for IOS at $mathrm{R}_{mathrm{o}}=40$ cm from both sides at 14 GHz is applied. The radiated power is focused on a small spot area of radius 1.8 cm on both sides of the IOS surface. Full wave simulation is considered considering the space surrounding the structure.","PeriodicalId":129532,"journal":{"name":"2023 40th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131753147","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}

In this paper, an enhanced approach for wideband DOA estimation with high resolution and low computational requirements is introduced. The suggested approach is based on combining the Incoherent Signal Subspace Method (ISSM) with Compressive Sensing (CS). The CS is employed using deterministic chaotic sensing matrices to decrease the dimension of the measurement vector, and hence reduce the software complexity. The efficiency of the introduced technique in enhancing the DOA estimation efficiency is studied for Uniform Linear Antenna Array (ULA). Several evaluation metrics, including the spatial spectrum, the consumed time, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between estimated and actual DOAs when varying the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and number of elements, are investigated to assess the performance of the proposed approach. Results reveal that the proposed ISSM with CS succeeds not only to achieve high DOA resolution for separating very closely spaced sources, but also to significantly reduce the computational complexity while keeping nearly the same estimation resolution. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed DOA estimation approach in wideband real-time wireless systems.","PeriodicalId":129532,"journal":{"name":"2023 40th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132973994","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}

New resource management strategies that operate in high-dimensional and dynamic environments will be required to meet these new challenges. Under the context of satellite communications, the resource allocation (RA) problem is decomposed into six sub-problems: frequency assignment, power allocation, beam placement, user grouping, gateway routing, and satellite routing. Existing conventional techniques of satellite resource allocation become unfeasible to deal with these new challenges and new algorithms have to be developed. The majority of frequency assignment methods fail to fulfill the requirements of the high-dimensional and dynamic environments without defaulting on bandwidth utilization and power efficiency. The work in this paper proposes a new frequency assignment algorithm based on a mathematical programming language (AMPL) that can completely design a dynamic frequency plan with bearing in mind system constraints like handovers and interference. The proposed algorithm is evaluated with multiple objective functions such as bandwidth maximization and produces optimal solutions. Experimentally, the proposed algorithm can allocate at least 155% more bandwidth compared to previous baseline benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":129532,"journal":{"name":"2023 40th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132980122","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}

An array of eight identical Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna is used to transmit the microwave pulses and receive the reflected signals.
