Atanasov, A.N. (author), Alink, M.S.O. (author), Van Vliet, F.E. (author)We present a simple and useful figure of merit (FoM) with which to evaluate the performance of simultaneous-multi-beam (SMB) transmit (TX) antenna arrays. The FoM builds upon the power-aperture product and effective isotropic radiated power for single-beam arrays and extends it to SMB arrays. The FoM is the product of radiated power, antenna...conference paper 2022

(author)Automotive engineers are repeatedly faced with the issue of choosing radars with the best angular resolution while having reduced processing times. In this paper, a novel extrapolation method is presented to estimate the amplitudes and phases for virtual antenna elements at the receiver periphery. This method has shown to resolve two targets...conference paper 2021

Deiana, D. (author), Nennie, F. (author), Boekema, R.B. (author), van Rossum, W. (author), Monni, S. (author)N-path filters exploiting switched-series-R-C networks can realize high-Q blocking-tolerant band-pass filters. Moreover, their center frequency is flexibly programmable by a digital clock. Unfortunately, the time variant nature of these circuits also results in unwanted signal folding. This paper proves analytically that folding can be reduced...conference paper 2017

TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), van Dijk, R. (author), van der Houwen, E.H. (author), Maas, A.P.M. (author)A phased-array FMCW radar has been design and built from COTS components. The generation of the frequency sweep is done by mixing a central local oscillator signal with a baseband sweep of a direct digital synthesizer (DDS). To ensure maximum flexibility the receive side has been equipped with it's own swept signal. The transmit frequency...conference paper 2008

TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), de Wit, J.J.M. (author), van Rossum, W.L. (author), Otten, M.P.G. (author)Phased array antennas are increasingly used in modern radar systems. Such systems are very liable to distortion of the relative phases between the radiating elements. For airborne, spaceborne, and naval phased array systems, vibrations of the array structure are an important source of phase distortions. In this paper, a system concept will be...conference paper 2007
