At most frequencies currently in use for short range data communication the available bandwidth is limiting the data rate. However, around 60 GHz there is an unlicensed frequency band with ample bandwidth appointed to support high data rate communication. Moreover, semiconductor technology for this frequency range is maturing and price levels...

A modeling method is proposed to quantify uncertainties affecting electromagnetic interactions. This method considers the uncertainties as random and measures them thanks to probability theory. A practical application is considered through the case of a transmission-line of varying geometry, illuminated by a fixed electromagnetic field. The...

Modern airborne ground surveillance radar systems are increasingly based on Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antennas. Efficient use of array technology and the need for radar solutions for various airborne platforms, manned and unmanned, leads to the design of scalable radar systems. The design and realisation of such a system is...

This paper deals with the use of Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) to increase the Efficiency × Bandwidth product in Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) antenna arrays whose efficiency is limited by the front-to-back ratio. If the backing reflector is realized in one metal plane solution its location will be suitable as antenna ground plane only on a limited...

In this paper, the achievable range-bit rate performance is evaluated for Time-Hopping (TH) UWB networks complying with the FCC outdoor emission limits in the presence of Multiple Access Interference (MAI). Application of TH-UWB range-bit rate performance is presented for UWB sensor networks. Results show that UWB radio technology is suitable to...

This contribution describes the design and characterization of a very compact 8-element proximity fed cavity antenna array realized completely in PCB technology. The cavities are formed by the placement of a series of through pins (vias) along a rectangular outline. Micro-strip lines excite the structure, and slot coupling is used to feed the...

This paper describes the design and performance of a low-cost synthesized FMCW radar module, operating in S band. The bi-layer PCB contains a frequency-agile low phase-noise synthesizer and three identical coherent receive-channels. The transmit channel has an automatic power control system that reduces the output power when a large reflection...

This paper presents the design of an S-band HPA MMIC in AlGaN/GaN CPW technology for radar TR-module application. The trade-offs of using an MMIC solution versus discrete power devices are discussed. The MMIC shows a maximum output power of 38 Watt at 37% Power Added Efficiency at 3.1 GHz. An output power of more than 20 Watt has been simulated...

In this paper the impedances of connected arrays of slots and dipoles are presented. The study is based on the rigorous Green’s Functions (GF) of the two structures in infinite array environments. The preliminary investigations indicates that the potentials of the connected slots when scanning are limited, due to the excitation of a leaky wave...

This work is the fourth of a series on the use of super-layers to shape the radiation pattern of each of the feeds composing a focal plane imaging array. Using dielectric or Frequency Selective Surface type of super-layers the spill over from the reflectors is reduced without increasing the dimensions of each aperture. This effect is achieved...

In the last decade, post-wall waveguides have emerged as an interesting building block for (antenna) feed networks because of their potential low losses, low costs, ease of manufacturing and integrability with existing printed circuit board techniques. In this paper we present a general formulation to analyze the characteristics of post-wall...

A novel approach is presented to accurately measure the scattering parameters as well as the radiation pattern of planar antennas that operate in the millimeter-wave frequency band. To avoid interconnection problems, RF probes have been used to connect to the antenna. These RF probes are normally used for the characterisation of devices on a...
