Many debris-related traffic accidents have actually happened on highway and we also remember the Concord jet crash accident happened in 2000 which was caused by a metal debris. These accidents may be avoidable using 79GHz ultra-wideband (UWB) radar since it offers high range-resolution and all-weather capability (known as all-weather sensor). This paper presents 79GHz radar-cross-section (RCS) characteristics essential for detectable range estimation of road debris. For the radar system design of debris-detection and ranging, the knowledge of RCS measure of various road debris is of great importance. We conducted RCS measurement for typical road debris at 79GHz and investigated the RCS fluctuation of road debris for vertical and horizontal polarizations. Please note that there is no report regarding to the 79GHz RCS of road debris as far as the authors know. The 79GHz RCS are also compared with 24GHz RCS.","PeriodicalId":131330,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127865301","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}

The transition comprises two sub-transitions: one from the MSL to a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and the second from the SIW to the RWG. Both are on the same substrate and can be manufactured with a standard printed circuit board process. This leads to a very cost-effective solution compared with other approaches. A WR-42 waveguide can easily be surface mounted to the transitions using a standard flange. The transitions have been fabricated, and their measured performance shows good agreement with the simulations. The MSL-SIW transition has a broadband behavior and the SIW-RWG transition still reaches a relative bandwidth of 10%.","PeriodicalId":131330,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128881480","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}

A scheme for adaptively regulating the transferred power within a certain range instead of delivering a constant power is proposed in this paper. The proposed design is implemented using a standard $0.5 mu m$ CMOS process and it utilizes the Load-shift Keying (LSK) technique to sense the variations in the distance and alignment between the transponder and the receiver implant. In the proposed power regulation scheme, the DC voltage output of the rectifier is regulated within a threshold window by changing the supply voltage of the class-E power amplifier (PA) at the transmitter side. Based on the voltage regulation, the proposed adaptive system transmits 2.25 mW to 13.5 mW of power over a distance range of 1 to 8 mm. The simulation result of the proposed scheme shows a 14.89% efficiency improvement compared to the system without the adaptive control mechanism.","PeriodicalId":131330,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS)","volume":"08 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117048242","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}

Utilizing first-order resonators leads to a narrow band response in terms of isolation and return loss. In this paper, we tackle this problem by using a 2-pole series bandpass resonators.
