With the conventional Radar detection, the detection of a target additional to this highly scattering environment would suffer greatly in their detection dynamic range. In this paper, we present a novel time reversal method that enables automatic destructive interference of the field-probing electromagnetic wave on the reflective scatters of the environment such that the cluttered environment becomes virtually transparent. The experiment in lab tree-scattering environment demonstrates that this time reversal clutter-nulling scheme substantially enhances the detection dynamic range and the signal-to-noise ratio, significantly raising target detectability.","PeriodicalId":213749,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125207314","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}

Combining these two 1-dimensional scanning methods, a 2-dimensional beam scanning antenna array was implemented on a single substrate in a planar form.

It is shown that a suitable segmentation of the structure is essential for obtaining good numerical results. In fact, if the optimum segmentation is selected, a mode-matching analysis using only TEM modes can resemble the full-wave response, with shorter computation time. Hence, this approach can be very useful in design and different examples are shown to validate it, using other numerical methods and measurements of a ten order filter.","PeriodicalId":213749,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133625133","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}

In this technique, all kinds of transmitter nonidealities, i.e. an offset and a mismatch, can be detected using adequate pair of DC test signals. The test signals are designed so that the envelope of the modulator RF outputs for each test signal fluctuates when the offset or mismatch exists. The fluctuations are converted to a baseband signal using an envelope detector which is designed as a signal dynamic range compressor to avoid saturation in following stages. The polarity of this fluctuation is detected by a comparator instead of a multi-bit analog to digital converter, and a binary-search-type algorithm optimizes parameters for the offset and mismatch compensation using the 1-bit comparator output. This technique was demonstrated in a 0.18-mum CMOS 5-GHz-band WLAN transmitter. The DC offset was suppressed to -43 dBc and the image tone was suppressed to -49 dBc.","PeriodicalId":213749,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127831739","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}
