Analysis of Non-Canonical Body-Conformal Arrays with Polarization Decomposition

Conformal phased arrays can be found in many applications due to their ability to fit tridimensional surfaces and, thanks to their scanning performance, can excel planar arrays. However, most of the previously proposed analysis methods can be applied only ...

Subarray antenna fed by analog beamforming network for 5G picocell applications

Anja Skrivervik

In this paper a subarray fed by an analog beamforming network for 5G picocell applications is proposed. Design requirements are presented taking into account frequency band operation, bandwidth, radiation pattern shape and both, antenna element and transmi ...

Locating Transient Directional Sources in Free Space Based on the Electromagnetic Time Reversal Technique

Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Qi Li

Traditional location methods such as time of arrival and direction of arrival have been widely used to locate transient radiation sources. However, these approaches neglect the directional radiation pattern of the sources. Locating directional sources is a ...

Engineering Parallel Transmit/Receive Radio-Frequency Coil Arrays for Human Brain MRI at 7 Tesla

Jérémie Daniel Clément

Magnetic resonance imaging is widely used in medical diagnosis to obtain anatomical details of the human body in a non-invasive way. Clinical MR scanners typically operate at a static magnetic field strength (B0) of 1.5T or 3T. However, going to higher fie ...

Wideband H-plane dielectric horn antenna

Juan Ramon Mosig, Lei Wang, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Marcos Alvarez Folgueiras

By flaring a dielectric waveguide in the H-plane, an H-plane dielectric horn is formed, which could be directly excited by an SIW feed. However, matching and radiation performances are poor due to the thinness of the substrate. To improve these performance ...

Laplace Beamshapes for Phased-Array Imaging

Paul Hurley, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

The imaging capabilities of phased-array systems are governed by the properties of their array beamshape, directly linked to the instrument impulse response. To ensure good spatial resolution, beamshapes are designed with a very narrow main lobe, at the co ...

A tapered CRLH mushroom-like leaky wave antenna with reduced sidelobe level

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Juan Sebastian Gomez Diaz

A tapered composite right/left-handed (CRLH) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with reduced sidelobe level (SLL) is presented. A cosine taper design is achieved by simultaneously modifying the longitudinal period and the slot width of the mushroom CRLH structure. T ...

Planck 2013 results. V. LFI calibration

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We discuss the methods employed to photometrically calibrate the data acquired by the Low Frequency Instrument on Planck. Our calibration is based on a combination of the orbital dipole plus the solar dipole, caused respectively by the motion of the Planck ...

Enhancing the Performances of H-plane SIW Horn Antennas

Juan Ramon Mosig, Marc Esquius Morote, Benjamin Fuchs

The performances of SIW horns antennas diminish significantly when the substrate thickness is much smaller than the free space wavelength lambda(0). Specifically, the mismatch between the antenna aperture and the air yields to unwanted back radiation and p ...
