The quarter wave stub resonator is designed in such a way that it provides a wide stopband in the UWB band of the antenna giving the sub-6 GHz band. The proposed resonator structure has minimal effects on the antenna's radiation characteristics while providing good stopband performance. The antenna is suitable for UWB, sub-6 GHz 5G and Cognitive Radio applications.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122559417","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 SSDR is radiating with $text{TE}{{}^{mathrm{y}}}_{1delta 1}$ -like mode at 5.32 GHz and $text{TE}{{}^{mathrm{x}}}_{delta 11}$ -like mode at 6.3 GHz. The parasitic DR is improving the impedance matching and increasing the bandwidth by 11.3% due to the dielectric loading effect. Further a dual band artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is placed below the UWB antenna to improve the antenna radiation characteristics.

Long period pulsars often have short duty cycles and the FFT based search with harmonic summing over a limited harmonic space is less sensitive for short duty cycles. The FFT search is also highly vulnerable to rednoise in the radio telescope data, reducing its sensitivity for longer periods. Since the current population of radio pulsars is mostly discovered by the FFT based search, there is a strong possibility of a missing population of long period and short duty cycle pulsars. An alternative search method for non-accelerated periodic signals is the fast folding algorithm (FFA), which has a uniform response for all periods and duty cycles. The FFA search provides an unbiased way to search for periodic signals with superior sensitivity. Though sufficiently bright population of long period pulsars can be discovered in single pulse searches, a suitable periodicity search along with an increase in integration time per pointing is required in major pulsar surveys to discover the fainter population of long period pulsars.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128982215","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}

Due to their scattering and absorbing nature, aerosols have a significant impact on the global climate. In the present work, the monthly variation of aerosol properties has been studied over three different sites of Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP): Kanpur, Jaipur, and Gandhi College respectively using ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) data. The spectral variations of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) with different seasons have been analyzed from June 2020 to May 2021. The high value of AOD at shorter wavelength and low value of AOD at longer wavelength was found which suggest dominancy of fine particles in the winter season and dominancy of coarse particles in the summer season. The monthly variation of Aerosol Radiative Forcing (ARF) along with trends over Kanpur, Jaipur, and Gandhi College has been analyzed. Total atmospheric radiative forcing $(text{ARF}_{text{ATM}})$ over all the locations was found to be positive suggesting warming in the atmosphere. The trend of ARF over Jaipur was found to be significantly decreasing while the trend of ARF over Kanpur and Gandhi College is insignificant. The correlation between AOD and $text{ARF}_{text{ATM}}$ was calculated. It is found that Aerosol Radiative Forcing is directly proportion to the Aerosol Optical Depth having a correlation coefficient of $mathrm{R}^{2} > 60$ % which suggests that aerosols can modify the Earth's radiation budget significantly.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"446 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116330083","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 paper we have developed an algorithm to estimate finite number of satellite Orbit Propagator Coefficients (OPC) accounting full force perturbative forces. Based on these coefficients user can derive satellite position for the required time within given period time with good accuracy. In this paper firstly we have propagated the orbit of earth orbiting satellites using in-house developed full force model, subsequently estimated 23 numbers of OPC within propagation period. Finally we have compared the position derived from OPC with high-precise RINEX files of GNSS satellites and also with operational ephemerides for LEO satellites with very close match. The estimated OPC requires very less run-time for satellite position time unlike any high precise numerical propagator and therefore it can be utilised for satellite on-board navigation for micro/nano satellites.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123621891","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 proposed two-port in-band full-duplex antenna consists of orthogonally arranged two U-shaped slot sections which are fed by coupled microstrip lines. The microstrip-coupled coplanar waveguide (CPW) is used at both ports to excite the U-shaped stepped-slot sections in the CPW odd mode. The surface currents from the active port interact with the other port in CPW even mode and result in neutral electromagnetic coupling from the stepped slot to the microstrip line. The interport isolation is achieved by CPW odd mode excitation of the individual stepped slot and it is further improved by the orthogonal arrangement of stepped slots. The proposed antenna has a minimum of 39 dB of interport isolation over the entire operational band and a maximum of 47 dB at 3.52 GHz. The -10 dB impedance bandwidth of both ports is 370 MHz and resonates in the 5G band of (3.32-3.69) GHz. The design provides the broadside radiation pattern with cross-polar content of less than -20 dB.
