Ion temperature spectroscopic measurements in high rotation discharges by means of X-ray diagnostic at JET

Measurement of the X-ray spectra of the He-like Ni ions (Ni26+) and their dielectronic satellites (Ni25+, Ni24+, and Ni23+) plays a crucial role in determination of electronic and ion temperature of plasma in the JET device. Because n >= 3 satellites of Ni ...

Wideband Cavity-Backed CubeSat Antenna in S band

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

The Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) antennas are a crucial component of small satellites, as their in-orbit attitude is not always well-defined. The TT&C antenna design for a CubeSat is an even more challenging task, considering the volume restricti ...

Comparison of L1 and L5 Bands GNSS Signals Acquisition

Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

Nowadays, civil Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals are available in both L1 and L5 bands. A receiver does not need to acquire independently the signals in both bands coming from a same satellite, since their carrier Doppler and code delay ar ...

High Gaussicity feedhorns for sub- / millimeter wave applications

In feedhorn design, the power coupling to the fundamental free-space LG(00) mode, or Gaussicity, is a good proxy for high performance, particularly the sidelobe and cross-polar levels and the near-field behavior. Gaussicity can be maximized by ensuring tha ...
