The absorber is angularly stable up to a maximum of 60 degrees, both for TE and TM polarizations, however, the TM case is more stable.

In equatorial and low latitude regions, the enhancement in the F layer leads to the development of equatorial spread F (ESF), and the F layer suppression leads to the inhibition of ESF. The Es layer and ESF events recorded by the Canadian Advanced Digital Ionosonde (CADI) system located at low latitude Hyderabad, India (Lat: 17.47°N, Long: 78.57°E) region and co-located global positioning system (GPS) amplitude scintillations index (S4) parameters during 23rd June 2015 geomagnetic storm event are considered in the present analysis. The suppression of spread F due to the presence of Es and subsequent inhibition of amplitude scintillations were examined during adverse space weather conditions from 22nd to 24th June 2015. It is observed from the analysis results that the amplitude scintillations at the low latitude region were inhibited due to the suppression of spread F in response to the development of the Es layer during the considered geomagnetic storm event. The Es and ESF parameters are supporting input parameters to ionospheric prediction or forecasting models and can be used to initiate the scintillation alerts in GPS and High Frequency (HF) communication applications.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"16 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":"128624610","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 its ionized character, it affects the propagation of the radio signals passing through it. Therefore, for a satellite navigation system, ionosphere error corrections are required to accurately determine the user's position. The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) is an independent, regional navigation system meant to provide user position for single frequency as well as dual frequency users. In order to reduce errors in the user position, IRNSS provides two types of ionospheric corrections: Grid based as well as ionosphere coefficient based on L5 frequency. Users are advised to use grid based correction as compared to the coefficient based correction since grid based corrections are more accurate than coefficient based. In IRNSS, kriging method is applied to generate an ionosphere grid at IRNSS service area. However, spherical harmonics based ionosphere grid data is also frequently used by researchers worldwide. These geo-statistical methods (kriging and spherical harmonics) are equally good for the reconstruction of the global ionosphere data. However, the superiority of any of the geo-statistical methods over the other geo-statistical methods for the reconstruction of regional ionosphere data has not been explored enough. Therefore, in this paper, we reconstructed the ionosphere map over the IRNSS service area using a spherical harmonics method. Since the IRNSS service area lies in the ionosphere equatorial anomaly region, we directly implement non-negative physical constraints of the ionosphere in our algorithm. Mathematically, an inequality-constrained least squares method is proposed by imposing non-negative inequality constraints in the areas to avoid negative vertical Total Electron Content (TEC) values. The proposed technique utilizes a priori information from the Global Ionosphere Maps (GIM) of the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE). The GIM map has been degraded randomly to compare our techniques for reconstruction of TEC maps.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"295 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":"132209721","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}

On the ground plane of a dielectric substrate, three CSRRs with squared shapes are engraved. A planar microstrip-line (MTL) carved on the substrate's bottom side generates a time-varying electric field that is connected to the sensor cells to stimulate them. The sensor has been built on a Rogers RT6002 dielectric substrate. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor is demonstrated in laboratory tests with a variety of liquid samples using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) setup, where the frequency is different for different dielectric constants. The designed sensor has a remarkable ability to detect minor dielectric variations, in addition to having other beneficial qualities including compact size, easy manufacture, cheap, nonionizing nature, and no risk to human health. The use of the proposed sensor along with additional microwave components for non-invasive disease diagnosis may be encouraged by such crucial properties.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"32 6 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":"134522712","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 APDA technique is extended method of Continuum interpolation band ratio (CIBR), and it is based on Linear regression ratio (LIRR) method. In APDA the additional atmospheric precorrected term reduces atmospheric path radiance, which provides good accuracy over lower surface albedo. Moreover owing to use of more than three absorption bands, this technique gives better performance over large surface reflectance variation. Optimum absorption bands selection has been performed by derived at-sensor radiance using MODTRAN (MODerate resolution atmospheric TRANsmission) 5.3 radiative transfer model (RTM), and six WV absorption bands are selected between 1120nm to 1150nm. At-sensor radiance simulations have been carried out for varying atmospheric and surface parameters, and then a band ratio RAPDA is derived from absorbing and non-absorbing band, corresponding to different WV concentration. The theoretical validation of the technique has been performed using actual radiosonde WV values, which shows good agreement with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0145 gm/cm2. The technique has been first-time applied to AVIRIS-NG Indian campaign data containing heterogeneous surface of two sites of Ahmedabad and Anand. Validation of retrieved WV was carried out with the NASA's AVIRIS-NG level-2 WV products on pixel-to-pixel basis. The RMSE for Ahmedabad and Anand is 0.164 gm/cm2 and 0.112 gm/cm2, respectively, which demonstrates a good performance of the proposed technique for the WV retrieval.","PeriodicalId":229743,"journal":{"name":"2022 URSI Regional Conference on Radio Science (USRI-RCRS)","volume":"1 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":"129692757","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 absorption mechanism inside the THEMWA is exploited with the help of a normalized input impedance $(mathrm{Z}_{text{eff}})$ plot and electric and magnetic coupling. Four-fold symmetry inside the resonator makes this structure's polarization insensitive.

The most precise atomic clocks are laboratory-based ones that utilize transitions in the microwave/optical domain of neutral atoms or trapped ions. These clocks define an international time scales, confirm the consistency of physical constants and stimulate the search for new physics outside the Standard Model. The other area is the regime of portable atomic clocks based on warm atomic vapor, which is small, power-efficient and deployable in the field with a variety of civilian applications, including sensing, communication and navigation. Two-photon resonance and optical transition based field deployable clocks present a viable alternative that may outperform current commercial chip scale clocks by at least a factor of 10 in terms of both long-term and short-term stability. For portable clocks, two-photon transitions in alkaline earth metals are of special interest. One of the systematic inaccuracies in the optical reference is eliminated by using counter-propagating laser beams to create Doppler-free spectroscopy. At IIT Tirupati, we are engaged in developing the next generation of atomic vapor based portable frequency standard using two-photon transition in Rubidium (Rb) for atomic sensing and quantum positioning applications.
