The estimated distance was intended to be used for position verification, which is a countermeasure against spoofing. A two-step method was proposed in order to mitigate the uncertainty issue regarding the aircraft’s equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP), leveraging the regularity of flight schedule. The first step is calibration, where the bias of the EIRP from a nominal value is obtained under the assumption that the ADS-B position is true. The obtained value is stored to be used in the second step, where the distance is estimated when the same aircraft reappears. The proposed method was evaluated with measurement data. As a result, distance errors with a mean of 0.8 km and a standard deviation of 18.6 km were obtained. Also, the resulting error distribution was approximated by a normal distribution.","PeriodicalId":253455,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE-APS Topical Conference on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications (APWC)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124127086","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 parasitic BORs, each with an on-off switching circuit connected between the BOR bottom end and the ground plane, are indirectly excited by the feeding BOR. Investigation of the feeding BOR reveals that it radiates a conical beam. This beam is transformed into a high gain radiation beam in a specific direction by the parasitic BORs and a particular combination of states for the switching circuits (open- or closed-circuited with respect to the ground plane). Other characteristics of the beam-steerable BOR-BORs antenna, including the radiation pattern and VSWR, are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":253455,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE-APS Topical Conference on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications (APWC)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127563922","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}

Antennas with circular polarization (CP) have been employed as important components in wireless systems, due to their superiorities of mitigating multi-path fading, avoiding polarization mismatch, and providing flexibility in the orientation of mobile antennas.

The main component of the system is the RF switch-based IC (integrated circuit), which was manufactured in Infineon 130 nm RF switch technology. The chip reconfigures the physical length of the inverted-F antenna (IFA), making the antenna longer for low-band operation and splitting the antenna in two IFAs for middle/ high band MIMO operation. The proposed concept implements MIMO approach with 19 dB isolation between the antennas at 1.8 GHz while sustaining good efficiency at 900 MHz.","PeriodicalId":253455,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE-APS Topical Conference on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications (APWC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131675143","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}
