Many statistical measures for wireless channels exist but throughput performance ultimately is determined through the orthogonality of the subchannels comprising the MIMO channel. The capacity of MIMO channels is considered in conjunction with the angles between the complex channel impulse response vectors. The angle between complex Euclidean vectors is derived. For simulated complex baseband Rayleigh fading channel impulse responses, a short finite-length response with a constant power delay profile is similar in angle distribution to a longer response with an exponential profile, whose amplitude time constant is the same as the length of the former. The exponential profile limitations on the sub-channel vectors is shown to extend to capacity. The relationship of the variance of the complex sub-channel vector angles to the variance of the channel capacity is shown.","PeriodicalId":285534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127590799","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}

Such disruptive events lead to decreased infrastructure and personnel availability; still, infrastructure and personnel are essential for keeping society running, and for addressing the effects of disruptions. We argue that drone technology could provide monitoring/logistics services that can help in addressing such needs. This paper focuses on the monitoring function which can provide situational awareness to decision makers after such a crisis. Drones are less dependent on nearby area infrastructure and can observe affected regions from above. Those are key advantages compared to other solutions. Still, drones are dependent on communication services and ground operators. Therefore, we need drone solutions that are less dependent on the availability of local infrastructure and people. Several conceptual solutions to reach this independence, based on recent developments in drone technology, are explicitly discussed in the current paper and confronted with the requirements and boundary conditions posed by disruptive events. Validating such solutions in real emergency situations is left for future work.","PeriodicalId":285534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131798589","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}

Wave diffraction is described in the literature as: Fresnel diffraction (when the target is close to the receiver) and Fraunhofer diffraction (when the target is far from the receiver). A diffraction model from opaque objects in a near and far observation zone is presented and investigated. The diffraction pattern was interpreted using a Fourier transform. The relationships between the object parameters, the distance from the object to the receiver and the wavelength of the signal are studied. The obtained diffraction model can be used to study the phenomenon of direct signal propagation in bistatic radar systems as well as to detect and evaluate the parameters of moving objects.","PeriodicalId":285534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123251274","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 ISAR geometry and kinematics are analytically described in two-dimensional (2-D) coordinates. The vector equation for estimation of the invariant geometric parameters and the matrix equation for calculation of errors in the estimates are presented. A linear frequency modulation (LFM) ISAR signal from scattering points located at the nodes of a uniform grid during inverse aperture synthesis is used as an approximation matrix function. In contrast to Fourier transform image reconstruction, the azimuth resolution properties of the proposed method do not depend on the number of measurements, i.e. the synthetic aperture length. The number of the measurements is defined by the number of the evaluated geometric parameters, the object's scattering points, which is the main advantage of the proposed MMSE method, and the main contribution of the present study. To prove the validity and correctness of the developed iterative MMSE algorithm, numerical experiments are performed. The computational results demonstrate high-resolution images, unambiguous and convergent estimates of the scattering point intensities of the object from limited simulated ISAR data.","PeriodicalId":285534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132519489","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 the present paper, this effect is estimated from changes of the total electron content TEC and the critical frequency foF2. For the study, March 2012 was selected, which includes two periods: March 7-17 and March 21-31. The first period includes four strong magnetic storms and is well documented in the literature in terms of the behavior of solar and geomagnetic parameters. The second period is characterized by an increase in TEC over almost the entire period. Latitudinal variations of TEC in the range 30° - 80° N near the meridian of 15° E and their correlation coefficients with solar and geomagnetic parameters are obtained. Using vertical sounding data (foF2) for four European stations near the selected meridian, the latitudinal dependence of the equivalent slab thickness of the ionosphere was constructed over the entire range. This dependence made it possible to obtain the latitudinal response of the frequency foF2 on disturbances and to reveal features such as the transition from the zone of negative disturbances at high latitudes to positive disturbances at low latitudes in the first period, daily excess over the median in the second period. This response was compared with frequency behavior for the International Reference Ionosphere model IRI. It was shown that the IRI model does not adequately reflect the variation of foF2 during disturbances, however, an assessment of the latitudinal dependence of the accuracy of the model, when compared with the median, showed that the model provides results for the high-latitude region at level of the middle-latitude values with a decrease in accuracy with decreasing latitude.","PeriodicalId":285534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133840999","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}

This nevertheless poses tensions with the current air traffic management establishments concerning mainly manned air traffic. Even though it is widely claimed that manned aircraft should have priority over unmanned missions, we currently miss adequate rules, regulations, and standards in this direction. Further, in contrast to manned aircraft (such as civil airplanes, for example) and big drones, that are to receive solid support from formally established ground stations, low-altitude-flying drones can effectively be navigated and controlled by means of IoT facilitations. Hence, we need to harmonize all those activities and technologies, for the sake of guaranteeing safety in the sky. In the current paper, we not only analyze those challenges but we also discuss implementation-related issues and present a vision for the future. This is research-in-progress and as such it is not supported by validation which is planned as further work.","PeriodicalId":285534,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121408207","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}
