However, when the targets are located close to the transmit and receive arrays, these algorithms are no longer valid. Aiming at the problem of near-field target localization in bistatic MIMO radar, the paper presents a novel algorithm of parameter estimation based on the centro-symmetric transmit and receive arrays. Four cross-covariance matrices of the received array data are employed and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of two constructed matrices are obtained to estimate the four-dimensional (4-D) parameters, including the direction-of-departure (DOD), the direction-of-direction (DOA), the range from transmitter to target, and the range from target to receiver. This proposed algorithm avoids spectrum peak search, therefore the amount of calculation is small. Also, the parameters can be well paired. The simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the propose method.","PeriodicalId":164534,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS 2015)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134258158","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}

To integrate 2D layered materials for scalable manufacturing, large-area synthesis to produce high quality film with precise control of thickness and uniformity is necessary. This work reported the first demonstration of high performance 2D-TMD photodetectors realized on a large area MoS2 crystal synthesized by magnetron sputtering. Due to an inherent film strain and through MoS2 thickness tuning, the photodetectors achieved an improved performance over a wide spectral range from the visible to the near-infrared band, making it potentially useful for optical communication applications. Through integration with optical waveguides, the light-matter interactions between incident photons and 2D absorption materials could be further enhanced. When coupled with the use of 2D heterostructures where a narrow bandgap black phosphorous (BP) is sandwiched between TMDs, efficient lasing with tunable wavelengths could be achieved via radiative recombination in the active BP emission material.","PeriodicalId":164534,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS 2015)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132290638","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}
