Cox, P.B. (author), van Rossum, W.L. (author)Recent advances in digital beam forming for phased arrays in combination with digital signal processing should enable the development of multibeam radar in a bistatic configuration. In the bistatic setting, the pulse travelling outward from the transmitter should be followed or “chased” by the receiver. During transmission, depending on the...conference paper 2020

Blom, K.C.H. (author), Dol, H.S. (author)For enabling efficient operation of untethered underwater vehicles, error-free underwater communication of command-and-control and telemetry data is a necessity. In contrast, the communication requirements for the sensor data of these vehicles are often less stringent, i.e., a few bad pixels in a SONAR image might be tolerated. To maximize...conference paper 2019

van der Bent, G. (author), de Hek, P. (author), van Vliet, F.E. (author)The application of stacked-FETs in power ampli fiers allows for a supply voltage higher than supported by the breakdown voltage of a single transistor. Potential benefits of the increased supply voltage are reduced supply currents and a lower matching ratio at the output of the amplifier. Furthermore, an increased output power per chip area is...article 2019

van Rossum, W. (author), Anitori, L. (author)In this article a novel waveform, Random SlowTime Code Division Multiple Access (ST-CDMA) for MIMO radar is presented and investigated. ST-CDMA means that the waveforms of the different transmitters are orthogonal per burst, while conventional CDMA implies orthogonal waveforms of the different transmitters per pulse. In particular, the Doppler...conference paper 2018

Liu, Q. (author), Golinnski, M. (author), Pawelczak, P. (author), Warnier, M. (author)wireless power transfer network (WPTN) aims to support devices with cable-less energy on-demand. Unfortunately, wireless power transfer itself-especially through radio frequency radiation rectification-is fairly inefficient due to decaying power with distance, antenna polarization, etc. Consequently, idle charging needs to be minimized to reduce...article 2016

Withagen, J.C.J.G. (author), Annema, A.J. (author), Nauta, B. (author), van Vliet, F.E. (author)Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) arrays provide more degrees of freedom than conventional phased arrays. They require that every transmitting element of the array can be identified when received. One way to achieve this is to give every element its own unique frequency. Offset-transmitters may be used to introduce MIMO or Doppler...conference paper 2016

(author)Ultra-short pulsed laser sources, with pulse durations in the ps and fs regime, are commonly exploited for cold ablation. However, operating ultra-short pulsed laser sources at fluence levels well below the ablation threshold allows for fast and selective thermal processing. The latter is especially advantageous for the processing of thin films....conference paper 2013
