Comparison with Doppler frequency, propagation delay is unreliable due to a non-synchronization between two Wi-Fi stations, thus it is hardly utilized for motion sensing. Since the CSI B2B calibration in the previous work introduced a form of synchronization via a cable channel, the propagation delay has become utilizable. In this paper, a performance and reliability of the CSI propagation delay will be validated as well as addressing the source of delay offset due to B2B calibration. In addition, applicability of utilizing propagation delay in a person falling scenario will be demonstrated as one of the motion sensing application.","PeriodicalId":228461,"journal":{"name":"2022 16th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"660 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115122702","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}

Although free space optical communications would meet these demands, they are severely limited by the weather conditions affecting the ground stations. Therefore, it is important to model these phenomena to predict the possibility of link outages so that an appropriate fade mitigation technique can be applied. This contribution aims to extend a model in the literature (Stochastic Model of Clouds) to include the time variability of the cloud field. The temporal evolution is studied using satellite observations and is introduced into the model by inputting ERA5 data chronologically, which has been linearly interpolated to a temporal resolution of 1 minute. The new model is then used to study the effect of site diversity for the mitigation of cloud attenuation on a GEO-Earth optical link operating at $1.55 mu mathrm{m}$.","PeriodicalId":228461,"journal":{"name":"2022 16th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123128296","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 system is composed of two stacked layers with circular shape. The bottom layer contains a Reflecting Luneburg Lens (RLL), which serves to generate a plane wave in the top one. In turn, the top layer hosts a Fabry-Perot cavity, which is used to gradually radiate the excited plane wave through a partially reflective surface (PRS), thus, producing a directive beam. Both the RLL and the FP cavity are azimuthally symmetric and allow one to generate identical pencil beams for any azimuthal direction. Moreover, it is possible to scan also in elevation by varying the height of the FP cavity, which provides 2D beam-steering capability. The double-layer approach guarantees the compactness of the device, whereas a full-metal implementation minimizes the propagation losses and renders the structure robust and fit for operation in harsh environments. The proposed system is well-suited for spatial applications, in particular for medium and high-gain antennas integrated in SmallSats and CubeSats.","PeriodicalId":228461,"journal":{"name":"2022 16th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117217299","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}
