From the wireless communication experiment, 14.5-Gbps high data rate up to a distance of 10-m is achieved with a 1 × 10−3 bit error rate using single carrier signal, which can be easily switched to a multi-carrier signal system, such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). In the OFDM radar experiment (10.1 GHz bandwidth, 1683 subcarriers) including low crest factor OFDM reference signal, highly reflected signals from “known refractors” located at a 5-m distance could be clearly detected.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129541662","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}

Instead of sampling from the single target PHD intensity, multi-object set particle sampling is utilized in the approximation of predicted multi-object density. Update of the multi-object state incorporates the multi-object set likelihood function corresponding to a more general observation model to accommodate the overlapping illumination of closely spaced point targets. Each multi-object set particle contains random number of possible single target states, and thus combined with the generalized observation model, the effect of multi-object states can be taken into account simultaneously during the multi-object measurement update procedure. Based on the standard Sequential Monte Carlo PHD (SMC-PHD) filter, multi-object particle PHD filter for image observations is developed and evaluated. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve more accurate estimation without the restriction of non-overlapping assumption, especially when the moving targets become closely spaced.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122783233","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}

MMI devices rely on approximating a parabolic spacing between the propagation constants of the modes supported by the multimode structure. A parabolic mode spectrum ideally enables the formation of direct, mirrored or multiple self-images at appropriate imaging planes. In practice, planar MMI structures cannot achieve the ideal parabolic mode spectrum, so it is important for the designer to ascertain the deviation from this ideal. The new design formulae presented in this paper will lead to simple approaches for minimising the phase errors of planar step-index MMI structures having low index contrast.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127635040","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}

The data are the complex amplitude of the diffracted far field in several directions. They are generated with a rigorous diffraction model when the surface is illuminated successively under several angles of incidence in TE polarization (electric component parallel to the invariance axis). Reconstructing the surface profile from these data is known as a nonlinear and ill-posed inverse problem. It is resolved iteratively by the Newton-Kantorovich method where its ill-posed aspect is treated under different regularisation schemes. In particular, we show that by adding a domain constraint to the standard Tikhonov regularisation, it is possible to improve the quality of the reconstructions. In this case, the role of this additional term is to force the reconstruction of the profile only on certain parts of the surface.","PeriodicalId":387984,"journal":{"name":"2017 Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125042588","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}
