A full scanning range in the azimuthal plane is ensured by proper mechanically rotating a metallic jacket, which partially covers the array radiating structure. The technique provides a beamwidth of 37° in the azimuth plane and gain of 17.41 dBi at the operating frequency of 27.3 GHz. Significantly, unlike a conventional phased array, this approach does not suffer from: scan loss, beam broadening or SLL degradation. Experimental results of the array element and numerical results of the antenna array demonstrate its applicability in 5G cellular networks.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"90 8 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":"128013727","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 algorithm searches for working and backup disjoint paths, using the shared path protection scheme. It divides the spectrum into two partitions and prioritizes slots in one of them for backup path traffic. The way the algorithm occupies slots of the working and backup paths resembles the behavior of two inverted stacks in which their slots are filled from the extremities toward the center. This scheme is effective in improving the blocking probability of connection requests, the spectrum utilization ratio, and the average size of slot groups. Comparison with reported algorithms shows good performance of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"112 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":"128034200","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 light emitted by a 663 nm laser source is launched into the multimode fiber, resulting in an output speckle field that is detect by a CCD. The fiber is attached to 3 microbending transducers for specklegram modulation, being the intensity distribution referenced to the possible fiber statuses in order to calculate the relative speckle field changes. Finally, the obtained data is processed by artificial neural networks for retrieving the magnitude of each input displacement. The methodology was tested on the interrogation of 2 or 3 transducers, yielding maximum errors of 0.29 μm and 0.5 μm, respectively, regarding a 30 μm range. Although the specklegram sensitivity is reduced for a large number of attached devices, the methodology can be applied on the monitoring of small sensor arrays, providing a reliable alternative for time and wavelength-based multiplexing schemes.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"7 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":"128780448","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}
