As the key component of the passive imager, the performance of the receiver directly determines the accuracy and stability of the whole system. Moreover, a passive imager usually use as an array radiometer, which requires a great quantity of receivers. So it is very important to study the high performance, low cost, miniaturized millimeter wave receiver. In this paper, a multichannel integrated receiver for Ka band is designed, machined and tested. That is, each receiver module contains 8 RF receiving channels working on 32 ~ 36 GHz, 8 independent LO operating at 9.875 GHz, and an IF output working from 3.5 to 7.5 GHz. The key parts of each receiving channel include: a)Waveguide-microstrip transition. Two kinds of structures are designed for the different polarization direction of the waveguide. One is the fin line form applied to a horizontally polarized waveguide and the other is a structure combining a ridge waveguide with a microstrip probe. b)Image reject filter implemented by microstrip circuit. c)Cascaded low noise amplifiers, mixer, multipliers active circuit. All of these circuit structures are realized on a complete Rodgers 5880 substrate (Er: 2.2, 254 μm thickness). After the final test, the module frequency conversion gain is 33 dB ± 7.5 dB adjustable. The Image rejection is greater than 26 dB. Noise figure is less than 4.5 dB. The most importance is that the receiver is more integrated and miniaturized, which is suitable for the array passive millimeter wave imaging system.","PeriodicalId":355217,"journal":{"name":"2018 Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS-Toyama)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121829278","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}

There are many precession period extraction methods based on RCS sequence. However, these methods have many restrictions and often yield poor results under noise condition. Aiming at extracting the precession period from RCS sequence, this paper designed a one-dimensional convolutional neural network. The precession period extraction is converted to a signal parameter estimation problem where the RCS sequence is the input signal and the period is the expected parameter. The proposed method was trained and validated on simulated RCS sequences and compared with spectral method, including CAUTOC, CAMDF, CAUTOC/CAMDF and trigonometric fitting method. The results showed that the proposed method yielded more accurate estimation results. Moreover, it can tell that there is no valid period by yielding a value that is not in the range [2, N /2]where $N$ is the length of the RCS sequence.","PeriodicalId":355217,"journal":{"name":"2018 Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS-Toyama)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121349528","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}

Recently, some high frequency applications require a relatively low-power gyrotron. In this paper, we analyze the stability and performance of a 200 GHz gyrotron backward-wave oscillator (gyro- BWO) operating at a beam voltage of 10 kV and a beam current of 0.5 A. The beam-wave interaction in a cylindrical waveguide is simulated by a single-mode, self-consistent nonlinear code. All the possible oscillating modes, including the operating mode and the competing modes, are considered. Simulation results show that the low-voltage gyro-BWO operating in the TE42 and the fundamental cyclotron harmonic is stable in the magnetic range of 73.5−77.0 kG. Under this stable operating condition, the low-voltage gyro-BWO was predicted to generate a peak power of 466 W with 9.3% efficiency and a frequency tuning bandwidth of 2.5 GHz using a uniform interaction waveguide. If the interaction waveguide is tapered to enhance the efficiency, the low- voltage gyro-BWO was predicted to generate a peak power of 1.25 kW with 25% efficiency and a frequency tuning bandwidth of 0.93 GHz.","PeriodicalId":355217,"journal":{"name":"2018 Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS-Toyama)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125272226","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 save power, one of the promising solution is to put the ONU into the sleep mode when there are no traffic either in upstream (US) or downstream (DS) direction. In this paper, we present an energy efficient XG-PON employing the watchful sleep mode, having the features of simple configurations and less signaling between ONU power levels.
