This second generation setup used two laser sources and the bias tee was replaced by a power combiner. As a result, the second setup enables one to reach higher data rates with better stability and modulated signal quality. The improved setup initially achieved a data rate of 50 Mbps in a QPSK scheme with an EVM of 8%. Using a root-raised-cosine filter, it was possible to reduce the EVM to 4.5%. After the EVM analysis, the modulated signal was demodulated through an actual satellite receiver. Using the demodulator, it was possible to measure the BER and verify if the incoming signal was modulated in the correct order. The QPSK modulator achieved finally a bit rate of 300 Mbps. The degradation analysis of the modulator with QPSK modulation and bit rate of 100 Mbps was 0.06 dB. In this case the values of Eb/N0 and BER were 11.36 dB and 10∼7. The obtained results are a consequence of the photonic technology bandwidth and the improvement made in the input and bias circuit.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126815929","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}

Chernigovskaya","doi":"10.1109/PIERS.2017.8262077","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PIERS.2017.8262077","url":null,"abstract":"In the present study we analyze the relation of longitudinal effects in the mid-latitude and subauroral ionosphere with neutral atmosphere dynamics during quiet and disturbed geomagnetic conditions. Particularly, we analyze the large scale ionospheric effects that are initiated by large scale processes both in strato-mesosphere and in geomagnetic field. Comparing to our previous studies, we focus on processes in winter strato-mesosphere in quiet geomagnetic conditions and on lower thermosphere disturbances generated during the disturbed magnetosphere conditions. The disturbances under consideration are caused by different sources. The first source is active during quiet geomagnetic conditions in winter Northern Hemisphere, it is generated by a jet stream in strato-mesosphere. The difference between critical frequencies for the ionosondes spaced longitudinally by only 15–20 degrees could reach about 1.5–2 MHz, depending on the observation point location as related to the jet stream which usually has the specific zones of upward and downward fluxes. Second process that highly depends on neutral gas dynamics was previously analyzed on the basis of the ionosphere response to the March 2015 severe geomagnetic storm. It was shown that some unexpected longitudinal dynamics of the middle latitude ionosphere arose, while the storm-associated [O]/[N2] disturbances have been moving westward during a few days. The third source of longitudinal irregularities of the ionosphere is determined by the characteristics of geomagnetic field variations. It was shown that during the storm, the three active zones with specific longitudinal structure were formed. One is shifted from the geographic pole toward the magnetic pole at ∼ 270° longitude. Two other zones were formed symmetrically opposite to the geomagnetic pole at ∼ 40°E and ∼ 130°E longitudes, and major electron density depletions were observed in the high-middle latitude ionosphere at these longitudes. On the contrary, the ∼ 80–110°E longitudinal sector showed electron density maximum in quiet conditions and fast ionosphere restoration after the storm decay. It is interesting, that the ionospheric disturbances in quiet and disturbed periods tend to be localized in the same longitudinal sectors, so that we can suggest some common mechanism responsible for the global ionosphere dynamics. Specific longitudinal structure of the middle latitude and subauroral ionosphere is analyzed. The stratosphere dynamics, geomagnetic disturbances and background geomagnetic field structure are considered as main drivers of the observed ionosphere variations.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122702029","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}

Two types of dot-like structures were examined — a square and circle shape. Mainly the circle shape resonators seem to be promising for simplified fabrication by micro-structuring technology. Changing the uniformity of array spacing led to rise of new modes in the spectral response.

Any losses taking place in real systems result in transformation of the bound states into resonant states with finite lifetime. In this work, we analyze properties of BIC in CMOS-compatible one-dimensional photonic structure based on silicon-on-insulator wafer at telecommunication wavelengths, where the absorption of silicon is negligible. We reveal that a high-index substrate could destroy both off-Γ BIC and in-plane symmetry protected at-Γ BIC turning them into resonant states due to leakage into the diffraction channels opening in the substrate. We show how two concurrent loss mechanisms — scattering due to surface roughness and leakage into substrate — contribute to the suppression of the resonance lifetime and specify the condition when one of the mechanisms becomes dominant. The obtained results provide useful guidelines for practical implementations of structures supporting optical bound states in the continuum.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122654245","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}
