The strength of microwave scattering with graphene is determined by an impedance mismatch Zσ whose natural scale is itself determined by the fine structure constant α = e2/(4πε0hc). Scattering measurements of graphene monolayer loaded waveguides from 17 Hz to 110 GHz reveal a constant sheet conductance with negligible skin effect owing to monolayer atomic thickness. A Drude conductivity tensor can be used to describe the microwave scattering of a graphene sheet under a static magnetic field bias. Measurement of longitudinal conductivity in a Corbino disk geometry can be used to estimate mobility. Transverse conductivity leads to Faraday rotation, which can be used in hollow waveguide structures to implement a gate voltage tunable isolator. As graphene mobility improves, there is potential to exploit both classical and quantum effects in non-reciprocal devices.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126525651","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 selection methodology, based on comparison with an ideal ADC, is outlined using the SKA as an example. This selection methodology can also be applied to other receivers with a different criteria. This work determines that the minimum required number of bits for an SKA ADC is 4 bits provided that the input signal level to the ADC is set properly.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132467198","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 basis of the process is to compare the measured reflection coefficient to the reflection coefficient computed by the GA. The GA computes the reflection coefficient using candidate solutions of the permittivity and permeability and the Fresnel reflection coefficient equations. The permittivity and permeability that yield the reflection coefficient closest to the measured reflection coefficient is determined to be the best solution. Results using synthetic reflection coefficient data using a Plexiglas sample show accurate extraction of the permittivity with both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarized plane waves.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124893840","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}

One component of this arises from a portion of the transmitted radar signal which is reflected from the ionosphere to the ocean surface, from whence it is backscattered to the receiving antennas. The influence of the ionospheric reflection can be accounted for by a so-called ionosphere reflection coefficient (IRC). This paper presents three ionospheric spectral models which may be used to determine clutter power within reasonable limitations.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115425613","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}
