The folded path configuration utilizes thick phase gratings as reflective elements. These elements provide large angle deflection, high diffraction or reflectivity, and wavelength multiplexing capabilities, and form the basis for an electronically addressable switch. By cascading gratings or alternatively utilizing long gratings, the transmitted optical signal is expected to be reduced to -40 dB to -60 dB or better, thus offering excellent isolation. The folded path configuration is the key to a small compact package. Using low loss waveguides, it is projected that time delays up to 10 ns can be achieved in a package size of 25 mm by 75 mm. The delay line concept, with the exception of active switching, has been demonstrated using ion exchange waveguides and surface relief gratings.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126380715","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 models and results for the TCAS on a Boeing 737-200 aircraft are presented. Both the elevation angle and the distance of the antenna from the nose were varied. The performance of the systems was shown to get better in the forward quadrant as one gets closer to the nose of the aircraft. The performance of the four-element TCAS was was generally not as good as that of the eight-element monopulse system, except in the nose quadrant where they were comparable. However, the four-element amplitude system is much simpler in its implementation than the eight-element monopulse system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126403244","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 interest is for in-line antennas which trace identical paths through a standing wave field and receive similar, but not identical, (time-displaced) signals as the mobile moves through typical multipath environments. The investigation quantifies the similarity of the received signals using the average peak cross-correlation of the envelopes. This, as a function of the antenna spacing, offers a quantitative assessment of the effective movement of standing wave fields. However, when the antenna spacing is less than 0.5 wavelengths, the peak cross-correlation measure is strongly perturbed by the mutual coupling effects of terminated antennas. For the 851 MHz measurements reported, the speed range of 15 km/h to 50 km/h (12 to 40 wavelengths per second) did not consistently affect the results for antenna spacings of up to 1.44 m (4.1 wavelengths).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126413272","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}
