This paper focuses on the problem of measuring the transmissivity of some clothing materials with different thickness. These measurements are carried out in a RF anechoic chamber, based on the analysis to radiation characteristics of contraband carried on personnel. In addition, the theoretical model of the radiometric temperature contrast between human body and contraband at MMW band is also described in detail.

Smart antenna used in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems can effectively maximum capacity and improve reliability and coverage by directing beam patterns towards the desired signals and null-patterns towards the interferers. Although numerous studies for smart antennas have already been conducted, including mostly uniform linear arrays (ULA), not as much effort has been devoted to other configurations. In this paper, the performance of smart antennas with uniform linear arrays (ULA), uniform circular arrays (UCA) and uniform rectangular arrays (URA) is examined and compared. With the use of three different types of array antennas, the two main issues related to smart antennas - estimation of the direction of arrival from incoming signals and adaptive beamforming - are both analyzed.","PeriodicalId":315133,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130034040","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 order to prevent the deleterious effects of dispersion for wideband signals, a wideband signal can be synthesized by coherently combining the individual narrow band components, meanwhile, clutter mitigation, estimation and discrimination of target's velocity is enabled by performing coherent pulse train in each subband. However, the separate and independent processing using conventional Doppler filter bank in a subband can also introduce deleterious effects of target Doppler dispersion among subbands and cause the distortion on synthesized one-dimensional range profile. In this paper, we first analyze the target Doppler dispersion among subbands and deleterious effects of following recombination, and then propose an effective method to eliminate the deleterious effects of target Doppler dispersion in subbands. The method is easy to be realized and tractable and do not require an increment of computation. Its good performance is verified by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":315133,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130046030","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}

It consists of a circular patch with an arc slot notched, which intends to obtain frequency notched for WLAN. To broaden the bandwidth and shorten the width of the substrate, a truncated ground plane is introduced. Thus, the width of the substrate is sharply shortened than previous studies. And also a simple formula modified to predict the lower edge of the bandwidth more accurately for the proposed configuration is presented. The proposed antenna operates from 2.65GHz to 13GHz for return loss of less than -10dB with 4.95-5.95GHz notched. Other performance of the antenna is also presented. The simulated results which are validated by Ansoft HFSS and CST Microwave Studio coincide with each other well.

The complex recursive orthogonal least squares (ROLS) algorithm is applied to train complex radial basis function (RBF) network when modeling, so as to save large memory and computational efforts. Using the information available from the trained network with complex ROLS algorithm, the effective centers of the network can be obtained by adopting backward selection algorithm, which achieve acceptable accuracy with significant reduction of network structure. The model has been validated using measured and simulated data. The results of simulation and experimentation show that this complex RBF network model requires a significantly reduced complexity in the analysis and training procedures, when driven with WCDMA signals, than previously published neural-network-based PA models.","PeriodicalId":315133,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132077540","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}
