In this paper, the light pyramidal X-band horn antenna implemented for the system is presented. The optimization of antenna design is carried out using CST software. Based on the optimum design, the proposed pyramidal X-band horn antenna is fabricated using a high resolution 3D printer with a polylactic acid (PLA) applied as 3D printing filaments. The printed antenna is then coated using polyurethane on its surface. From the characterization result, it shows that the working bandwidth of proposed pyramidal X-band horn antenna is about 2.9 GHz with reflection coefficient of −69 dB and −16 dB for simulation and measurement, respectively. A good agreement has been achieved between the simulated and measured results indicating that the proposed antenna has satisfied for our GB-SAR system.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126131394","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}

At the frequencies of several gigahertz the positioning of the radar is achieved by a distance measuring wheel, which can be used only on smooth surfaces. In such a positioning system the data acquisition requires collecting data samples along parallel lines to get plan view images. In this paper a hand-held radar equipped with a video-based positioning system is considered. The video-based positioning system, which uses a web-camera and a contrast graphical marker (an AR-marker), enables positioning the radar in 3D with sufficient precision without any constraints on the sampling pattern. The radar position is calculated using correspondence between the physical coordinates of the marker corners and their projections on the web-camera image. Reconstruction of the microwave image is performed by a back projection method which uses 3D coordinates of each data sample. The result of data processing can be presented as a traditional microwave image, or as an overlay to the image of the scene (augmented reality). This way of data visualization removes the problem of radar data remapping from the computer screen to the probed scene. Several application areas of the developed technique are outlined. Among the considered problems are: obtaining radar images of concealed objects under clothing by a hand-held radar scanner and obtaining radar images over uneven surfaces (arched ceilings, columns, statues, natural soil etc.). The first of these applications is illustrated with experimentally obtained results.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129018272","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}

RBS noise is a nonlinearly back-scattered component due to non-uniformity in single-fiber loopback system when reflective-type modulator is used as an uplink modulator. Influence of this noise would be stronger for high power of the optical carrier and this carrier-induced reflecting component can beat with optical carrier at local oscillator (LO) due to square-law detection in uplink coherent receiver. In addition, OBI noise is unwanted beating term due to optical signal carrier-to-LO carrier beat by the same receiving principle. Thus, alive optical carrier causes OIN of both noises enabling to inevitable obstacles for uplink signal. Moreover, OIN becomes more severe as increasing fiber input power and transmission distance which are important requirements for the next generation passive optical network (PON). In this paper, a novel photonic interferometry-based optical carrier cancellation (OCC) technique is proposed to mitigate these OIN for multiple access in coherent PON. Our goal is to cancel out the optical carrier at optical network unit (ONU) which is main cause of OIN. Basic principle of the proposed technique is making a photonic interferometry consisted of two optical interferometric paths and generating a destructive interference through phase difference of 180 degrees between two paths. In-line optical phase shifter was used considering its advantages of cost-effectiveness and easy bias control properties. In addition, power imbalance and fluctuation of the state of polarization between two paths were minimized by using a variable optical attenuator and simple polarization control at ONU. Furthermore, transparency for modulation format was possible because the proposed technique is applied at ONU after uplink signal modulation. Through experimental demonstration for the proposed technique, optical carrier was cancelled out up to about 30 dB and this cancellation facilitates OIN mitigation at the overall uplink signal band. Under the severely OIN-induced condition of the high fiber input power more than minimally required fiber launch power, a remarkable performance improvement in terms of the noise floor and eye-pattern were verified as a proof of concept. The proposed technique shows a good tolerance to OIN-induced uplink transmission by taking advantages of the low-complexity, cost-effectiveness and transparency for modulation format of uplink signal.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114851012","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}
