The antenna is composed of single feeding loop structure which provides sequential phase, four driven patches, and one parasitic patches. The driven patches, which are capacitively coupled by the feeding structure, generate one CP mode due to the sequentially rotated structure. One parasitic patch produces additional CP mode. By combining single feeding loop structure with four driven patches and one parasitic patch, the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is greatly broadened. The results of the simulation show that the antenna achieves a broad impedance bandwidth of 20.7% (4.38–5.39 GHz) and a 3-dB AR bandwidth of 14.2% (4.65–5.36 GHz).

The proposed approach utilizes bearings of two-arrays to estimate the localization and velocity of the target. Unlike extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), which is biased and sensitive to the initial value in Cartesian coordinate, the proposed scheme is much more stable and asymptotically unbiased. Moreover, the performances among these schemes are compared based on the noisy bearings from towed array sonar and flank array sonar via Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed MPC-UKF has better performances with higher numerical stability and little cost of computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":297368,"journal":{"name":"2018 12th International Symposium on Antennas, Propagation and EM Theory (ISAPE)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123987478","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}

According to the well-known formation mechanism of the equatorial and low-latitude plasma depletions, i.e., the generalized Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability mechanism, these plasma depletions are expected to occur mainly at night and appear simultaneously at the geomagnetic conjugate locations in the northern and southern hemisphere. Although many studies on the equatorial and low-latitude plasma depletions have been performed in recent years, there are few reports on the variation features of the equatorial and low-latitude plasma depletions along the geomagnetic meridian direction. In this study, we have analyzed in situ electron density measurements obtained by the three Swarm satellites in the 55°E-155°E geographic longitude (GLON) sector during the equinox months of high solar activity years, i.e., February-April 2014, September-November 2014, February-April 2015, and September-November 2015. We found that the equatorial and low-latitude plasma depletions were observed mainly at night, which are consistent with the statements of the generalized RT instability mechanism. Moreover, we found that in most cases the appearance of the equatorial and low-latitude plasma depletions presented the north-south hemisphere symmetry. However, sometimes (with the occurrence rate of ∼16-27%) they presented the north-south hemisphere asymmetry, namely, they were only detected at the low-latitude region in the northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere, which cannot be explained by the generalized RT instability mechanism.","PeriodicalId":297368,"journal":{"name":"2018 12th International Symposium on Antennas, Propagation and EM Theory (ISAPE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125323464","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 this study, we have constructed a 2D numerical simulation model for studying PDI with a nearly realistic ionosphere background and a radio wave propagation model by taking a proper processing for the routine dynamic equations of plasma with generalized Zakharov method. The simulation results found that high-power HF EM waves could excite two electrostatic modes of a Langmuir wave and an ion acoustic wave near the reflection point of the ordinary wave (O-mode) within a timescale order of millisecond. The amplitude of density perturbation grows exponentially and significantly influencing the plasma frequency related to ‘low frequency’ density background. These processes are also followed by plasma caviton structures and trapped Langmuir waves. Finally, the O-mode heating leads to an intense localized turbulence. This paper also presents the simulation results of Langmuir parametric instability (LPI) excited by powerful HF wave heating at the O-mode reflection height. The study of this article contributes to formation of a deep impression for the physical mechanism of the Parametric Decay Instability (PDI). It is also helpful to research on the nonlinear interaction between the high-power HF EM waves and ionosphere plasma.","PeriodicalId":297368,"journal":{"name":"2018 12th International Symposium on Antennas, Propagation and EM Theory (ISAPE)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124217197","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}
