GNSS and NavIC signals have been used for the study of the ionosphere by researchers and NavIC signals offer definite advantages for ionospheric research from India. This study presents the results of moderate to intense post-sunset scintillation cases during the autumn equinox of 2021 and vernal equinox 2022 at NavIC signals in the L5 band and S-band. In October 2021, moderate scintillation is observed in the L5 signal only on more than one NavIC satellite links. In March 2022, moderate to intense scintillation is observed in the L5 signal compared to the moderate scintillation observed in the S-Band. The results would be useful in understanding the advantages of the S-band for navigation applications.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"203 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":"131646817","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}

To reduce the emission from anthropogenic activity, it is important to monitor the major sources and sinks of atmospheric CO2 such as coal-fired Thermal Power Plant (TPP). Airborne hyperspectral sensors with contiguous spectral bands have capabilities to measure point source CO2 emission. In this study, we have estimated CO2 concentration using Radiative Transfer (RT) simulations and Airborne Visible/InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer - Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) data acquired on Maithon TPP at Jharkhand in India. Due to its higher sensitivity to the boundary layer atmosphere, the Short-Wave InfraRed (SWIR) region is most suitable for the detection of CO2 emission sources. we used a $2.0 mu mathrm{m}$ absorption band for CO2 plum detection.

The simulated result of the proposed antenna shows multiband characteristics with frequency bands (0.8GHz - 1.04 GHz); (2.27 GHz -2.52 GHz); and (3.71 GHz - 4.11GHz) which covers wireless standards such as LoRa, Zigbee, SigFox, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, commonly used in IoT systems. The proposed antenna is fabricated and experimentally investigated. The measured results are found to be in good agreement with the simulated results. The radiation patterns of the proposed antenna show that it is nearly omnidirectional in both E-plane and H-plane.

It is observed that in the absence of microwave field a normal transparency window is obtained, but when a microwave field is also applied between hyperfine levels along with the optical fields an amplification and attenuation in EIT signal is observed depending upon the relative phase between fields driving the atomic system. In fact, a new probe field is generated by microwave and coupling field which interfere constructively or destructively with incident probe field leading to either amplification, attenuation or asymmetricity in probe transmission signal. Also, dependency of phase sensitive amplification on ground state decoherence is also studied. This novel, controllable and amplified EIT signal can be potentially used for the transfer of coherent microwave analog or digital message signal over larger distance using optical fibers where amplification is preliminary requirement.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"24 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":"116103817","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}
