The proposed antenna covers an ultra wide band from3.1 to 10.6 GHz with S11 < −10 dB and provides isolation below −25 dB across the operating band. Using the simulation tool CST MWS, the antenna was designed and optimized. Furthermore, an experimental prototype was fabricated and measured. The comparison between simulated and measured results shows a good agreement, which validates the proposed concept. The obtained results show good performances in terms of bandwidth and radiation pattern.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114339281","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}

Based on the standard MUSIC algorithm and with respect to the same imposed constraints, we develop the Iterative Unitary-MUSIC algorithm that provides superior high resolution localisation capabilities even for correlated sources scenarios with a reduced computations cost as well as a low processing time compared with previous works. In our analysis, the induced Electro-Motive Force (EMF) method is used to model the mutual coupling matrix. Through computer simulations, we demonstrate that our approach has more interesting performances even if all coupling parameters are included and especially when the incoming signals are highly correlated. Moreover, we drive more flexible identifiability conditions for the uniqueness of the estimation solution that required a reduced number of sensors to estimate the same number of parameters compared with previous works.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126012340","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 proposes and presents an alternative platform of technology based on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. Early results in the development of an SIW passive millimeter-wave imaging system are reported and discussed in this work. This technology presents many advantages over the conventional waveguide technology such as lower cost, smaller size, integrability with printed circuit board (PCB) technologies, compactness, as well as low interference susceptibility. An SIW passive imaging system operating at 35 GHz intended for concealed weapon detection is demonstrated at its early stage. It consists of a mechanically scanning reflector antenna, an SIW direct receiver and a computer running data acquisition software. The direct receiver presents a 1.5 GHz bandwidth centered at 35 GHz, 2.7 dB noise figure, and 48 dB gain. It was built upon interconnecting SIW sub-circuits in a LEGO manner which is appropriate for system prototyping. Resulting images for different scenarios are presented and the system operability is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"55 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113933782","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}

These difficulties are due to the large number of parameters, and the amount of available data. In order to overcome these difficulties, statistical process control concepts have been introduced to develop a metamodel technique which parameterizes the SAR and allows the analysis of the parameters that can have an influence on the head tissues exposure. The appropriate stochastic metamodel and the Polynomial Chaos (PC) expansion coefficients are estimated by least-square regression. The objective of this paper is to show that the metamodelling technique based on a polynomial chaos can be an efficient tool to simplify uncertainty propagation problem to estimate the SAR10g induced in the head and the SAR average over 1g of the brain.","PeriodicalId":176786,"journal":{"name":"2011 11th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117064043","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}
