In situ observations of the Swiss periglacial environment using GNSS instruments

Alessandro Cicoira, Matthias Meyer, Hugo Raetzo

Monitoring of the periglacial environment is relevant for many disciplines including glaciology, natural hazard management, geomorphology, and geodesy. Since October 2022, Rock Glacier Velocity (RGV) is a new Essential Climate Variable (ECV) product within ...

COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2022

In this paper we present a technique to broaden the beamwidth of conventional patch microstrip antennas by using parasitic elements. This technique allows to keep the main advantages of microstrip antennas while increasing their beamwidth. We provide guide ...

Coordinated Path Planning for Surface Acoustic Beacons for Supporting Underwater Localization

Alcherio Martinoli, Anwar Ahmad Quraishi

Accurate localization is one of the biggest challenges in underwater robotics. The primary reasons behind that are unavailability of satellite-based positioning below the surface, and lack of clear features in natural water bodies for visually aided locali ...

Ultralow-Profile Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antenna for CubeSat Intersatellite Links in K-B and

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

An ultralow-profile circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray (RA) antenna is presented in this article, based on the variable-rotation technique for beam collimation and scanning. Starting from a conventional split-loop element, a new wideband element is des ...

IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2021

This paper is to investigate the pattern distortion that happens in the extremely low incidence angle for a flat TM-polarized half Luneburg lens antenna (HLLA) by using a purely reactive impedance surface (RIS). For the scenario of a radar mounted on an un ...

Intensifying space activity calls for increased scrutiny of risks

Romain Buchs

As the pace of space activities accelerates and societies become more reliant on space-based systems, the associated risks deserve more attention. Satellites form a critical infrastructure on which military, civil and commercial entities rely. The services ...

International Risk Governance Center2021

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to a constellation of satellites emitting signals from space, used to provide Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) services to the receivers on Earth. Nowadays, the GNSS is exploited in a wide range of ...

X-ray pulsar-based GNC system for formation flying in high Earth orbits

Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat

In this paper, comprehensive pulsar-based Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) system is designed and applied to satellites formation flying. The complete autonomy of the X-ray pulsar navigation technology provides both absolute and relative positioning ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2020

CubeSats are a type of small satellites (< 500 kg) that weigh several kilograms and consist of multiple Units (U) measuring 100 × 100 × 113.5 mm3. CubeSats emerged as a low-cost alternative to conventional large satellites, and have since demonstrated capa ...

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 ...
