In order to reduce the effect of the curvature error on the image, subarea technique is utilized when the far-field assumption is invalid. We propose the subarea technique that reduce the curvature error by reducing the size of the target area while reducing the discontinuity at the same time.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"16 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120856707","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}

Nowadays, 3D FSS is taking too much attention because it provides high degree of freedom in controlling transmission/reflection response. Therefore, in this paper, a 3D FSS has been attempted by inserting three concentric conductive cylindrical rings in to a polyurethane foam. The proposed concentric triple cylindrical ring 3D FSS aims to work as a band stop in the GSM-900, UMTS-1800 and LTE-2300 frequencies. CST software is used to simulate and optimize the dimensions of FSS. After that, measurement of developed concentric triple cylindrical ring 3D FSS is carried out in free space. Measurement results are in good agreement with simulation results. To shield the communication band in the secure places, this type of low cost structure may be quite useful.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121482243","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}

From the viewpoint of practicality, a commercially available wireless communication module equipped with a small pattern antenna was used for the experimental apparatus. In order to consider the worst case of communication loss, detailed measurements were made assuming the height of rice grown 105 cm, and the antenna height was 55cm, 105cm, 155cm. Based on the measurement results, fitting was performed on the Exponential Decay (EXD) model, and the propagation characteristics in paddy fields were verified. As a result, at 2.4GHz, even under line-of-sight conditions, there was attenuation due to the influence of scattering of reflected waves due to plant arrangement, and it was found that the same degree of remarkable attenuation due to vegetation occurred regardless of the height under rice top. On the other hand, at 920MHz, which is said to have strong diffraction, it was revealed that the loss characteristic of vegetation is proportional to the height.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123348363","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 transceiver employs a commercially available synthesizer evaluation module that directly drives both the transmitter and receiver x24 frequency multiplier assemblies. The receiver is a simple direct conversion architecture feeding a modest 5 MS/s data acquisition card or fast oscilloscope (up to 2 GS/s).

The presented scheme considers the different interfering subspaces distances, and the distances between the interfering subspaces and the desired subspace. With the aim of optimizing the information rate of the network and guaranteeing user fairness at the same time, the proposed scheme moves the precoder obtained by the subspace distance optimization along the direction given by the gradient of the sum of logarithmic user data rate.

In this article, these sources of pseudo-range error are analyzed by means of simulations for an aircraft moving at the surface of an airport. For the simulations, we rely on a hybrid statistical-deterministic GNSS multipath simulator combined with a receiver simulator. Various antenna models are tested, e.g. an ideal isotropic antenna and a realistic antenna mounted on an aircraft, with and without the phase and group-delay patterns.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121143751","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}

Another possible explanation is based on the synthetic aperture principle, by assimilating the set of positions of the probe antenna to an antenna array.

This scheme enables wireless broadcast of information to specific spatial locations, using fewer antenna elements compared to classical beamforming techniques. It is shown indeed with numerical examples that focusing the data is spatially more selective than focusing the power. In particular, we show that a linear 2-antenna array using spatial data focusing can exhibit similar beamwidths to a linear 7-antenna array using power focusing.","PeriodicalId":203781,"journal":{"name":"2018 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117148399","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}
