The approach is to derived the target angular ranges algorithms in order to directly select the target's parts that lie in the laser field (parts required for target response generation) instead of checking the whole target as it's done by the normal approach. The performances of these two approaches are compared for a variety of conditions.

The hydrodynamic diffusion-drift equations for volume electron concentration were used jointly with the Poisson equation for the electric field. The transverse inhomogeneity results in the decrease of the electron mobility near the surfaces of the film and in the decrease of spatial increments of amplification of SCW. The generation of the second and the third harmonics and the amplified signals at the combination frequencies is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"26 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114045027","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}

Therefore, this method must be complemented with stability-analysis techniques, in order to check the physical existence of the solution. Existing techniques assume a periodic excitation, usually consisting of a single tone. However, practical circuits such as power amplifiers are generally be driven by modulated signals or multiple input tones. This paper presents a methodology for the stability analysis of nonlinear circuits in the presence of modulation signals. This methodology is based on the determination of the time-varying poles associated to an input-output representation of the system. In the presence of modulated signals, this representation is obtained by linearizing the envelope-transient system that rules the circuit behavior about the modulated steady-state solution. The formulation and methodology have been applied to a practical power-combined amplifier at 3 GHz, with very good results in the comparison with independent simulations and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"1967 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130141489","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}
