An Optimized Low-Power Band-Tuning TX for Short-Range FMCW Radar in 22-nm FDSOI CMOS

Christian Enz, Francesco Chicco, Sammy Cerida Rengifo

The paper presents a low-power transmitter (TX) as a part of a fully integrated 57-66 GHz FMCW radar system. The TX path includes a BPSK modulator and it is optimized for short-range operation with 0 dBm output power. A band-tuning technique is used for co ...

Photonic microwave generation in the X- and K-band using integrated soliton microcombs

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Junqiu Liu, Maxim Karpov, Hairun Guo, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Arslan Sajid Raja, Jijun He

Microwave photonic technologies, which upshift the carrier into the optical domain, have facilitated the generation and processing of ultra-wideband electronic signals at vastly reduced fractional bandwidths. For microwave photonic applications such as rad ...

3.5 GHz Coverage Assessment with a 5G Testbed

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Today, cellular networks have saturated frequencies below 3 GHz. Because of increasing capacity requirements, 5th generation (5G) mobile networks target the 3.5 GHz band (3.4 to 3.8 GHz). Despite its expected wide usage, there is little empirical path loss ...

2G/3G Serpentine Shape Inverted-F Antenna for Near Body Application

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires

In this contribution, we present a miniature antenna placed in a leg bracelet for body worn applications. It operates in both the 820-960 MHz and the 1.7-2.1 GHz bands. The radiating element, based on an inverted-F antenna, occupies a 37 mm × 37 mm area an ...

Compact Orthomode Transducer with Broadband Beamforming Capability

Juan Ramon Mosig, Anja Skrivervik, Emile Jacques de Rijk

A compact and broadband orthomode transducer (OMT) with two dual linearly polarized ports is reported here for the first time. The component is based on a combination of two ridged Boifot junctions through a series of power dividers that act as an embedded ...

Precipitation at Dumont d'Urville, Adelie Land, East Antarctica: the APRES3 field campaigns dataset

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Christophe Praz

Compared to the other continents and lands, Antarctica suffers from a severe shortage of in situ observations of precipitation. APRES3 (Antarctic Precipitation, Remote Sensing from Surface and Space) is a program dedicated to improving the observation of A ...

High Performance, Continuously Tunable Microwave Filters Using MEMS Devices With Very Large, Controlled, Out-of-Plane Actuation

Matthias Imboden

Software defined radios (SDR) in the microwave X- and K-bands offer the promise of low cost, programmable operation with real-time frequency agility. However, the real world in which such radios operate requires them to be able to detect nanowatt signals i ...

Unraveling hydrometeor mixtures in polarimetric radar measurements

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Josué Etienne Gehring, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Christophe Praz, Urs Martin Germann

Radar-based hydrometeor classification typically comes down to determining the dominant type of hydrometeor populating a given radar sampling volume. In this paper we address the subsequent problem of inferring the secondary hydrometeor types present in a ...

High Gain Dual-Band Beam-Steering Transmit Array for Satcom Terminals at Ka-Band

Juan Ramon Mosig, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

Transmit array design is more challenging for dualband operation than for single band, due to the independent 360 degrees phase wrapping jumps needed at each band when large electrical length compensation is involved. This happens when aiming at large gain ...

Retrieval of the raindrop size distribution from polarimetric radar data using double-moment normalisation

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

A new technique for estimating the raindrop size distribution (DSD) from polarimetric radar data is proposed. Two statistical moments of the DSD are estimated from polarimetric variables, and the DSD is reconstructed using a double-moment normalisation. Th ...
