The OFDM signal, comprising an aggregate rate of 75 Gb/s quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation, was generated from an optical comb, with 12.5 GHz channel spacing, provided by the gain-switching of a semiconductor laser. The experimental results were then used to calibrate a system simulator where an all-optical Inverse FFT was included for the adding of an optical OFDM carrier. A synchronism mechanism was also configured in the simulation setup. The obtained bit error rate (BER) performance below the forward error corrector (FEC) limit for both, experimental and simulated, implementations, demonstrate the node architecture feasability for the optical processing of a superchannel with carrier spectral overlapping.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134314340","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}

This paper aims at introducing this field of study presenting not only an SDR-based radar-detector but also how it could be conceived on a low power consumption device as a tablet, which would make convenient a passive network to identify and localize aircraft as a redundancy to the conventional air traffic control in adverse situations. After a brief approach of the main features of the equipment, as well as of the developed processing script, indoor experiments took place. Their results demonstrate that the processing of pulsed radar signal allows emitters to be identified when a local database is confronted. All this commitment has contributed to a greater proposal of an Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) or Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system embedded on a tablet, presenting characteristics of portability and furtiveness. This study is suggested for the areas of Software-Defined Radio, Electronic Warfare, Electromagnetic Devices and Radar Signal Processing.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130865223","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}

After trimming to the specified operating frequency of 24 GHz, a gain degradation of only 0.3 dB is observed. The trimmed LNA achieves a peak gain of 20 dB at 24 GHz with a 3 dB-bandwidth from 21 to 28 GHz, a noise figure of 3.7 dB, and an OIP3 of 15dBm.

The knowledge of these exposure limits and how these fields are spatially distributed are very important to the development of techniques to protect against this kind of radiation. The aim of this paper is to study the distribution of the electromagnetic pollution in the central region of Mossoro by measuring the intensity of the electromagnetic fields in a broad band from 10 MHz to 8 GHz and estimate how these fields are spatially distributed using interpolations techniques.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115344238","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}

However, this configuration is not suitable for receivers with a single RF chain, that must rely on fully-analog beamforming. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the best analog beam combination when user terminals have independent analog sub-arrays. We present a novel algorithm for beam selection that separates analog and digital beamforming components. First, we use hierarchical analog beamforming codebooks to obtain a combination of beamformers that maximize SNR at the receivers. We leverage multiple RF chains at the AP and sub-arrays at the users to design such hierarchical codebooks. Second, we use digital zero-forcing beamforming at the transmitter to eliminate inter-user interference. Preliminary numerical results show the effectiveness of our algorithm in simple scenarios.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114928470","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}
