This paper presents the characterization of the in-flight beams, the beam window functions, and the associated uncertainties for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI). Knowledge of the beam profiles is necessary for determining the transfer function to ...
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 ...
Massive-multiple input multiple output (MIMO) was recently proposed as a key solution for improving the performance of multi-user MIMO in future cellular generations. The main paradigm in this novel MIMO technique is to use a very large number of antenna e ...
A partially reflective surface (PRS) antenna design enabling 1-bit dynamic beamwidth control is presented. The antenna operates at X-band and is based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The reconfigurable PRS unit cell monolithically inte ...
