Single Chip LIDAR with Discrete Beam Steering by Digital Micromirror DeviceSmith, Braden James, Smith, Braden James January 2017 (has links)
A novel method of beam steering that utilizes a mass-produced Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) enables a large field of view and reliable single chip Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR). Using a short pulsed laser, the micromirrors' rotation is frozen mid-transition which forms a programmable blazed grating which efficiently redistributes the light to a single diffraction order, among several. With a nanosecond 905nm laser and Si avalanche photo diode, measurement accuracy of < 1 cm for 3340 points/sec is demonstrated over a 1 m distance range and with a 48° full field of view.

Design of controlled RF switch for beam steering antenna arrayAbusitta, M.M., Zhou, Dawei, Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Excell, Peter S. January 2008 (has links)
Yes / A printed dipole antenna integrated with a duplex RF switch used for mobile base
station antenna beam steering is presented. A coplanar waveguide to coplanar strip transition was adopted to feed the printed dipole. A novel RF switch circuit, used to control the RF signal fed to the dipole antenna and placed directly before the dipole, was proposed. Simulated and
measured data for the CWP-to-CPS balun as well as the measured performance of the RF switch are shown. It has demonstrated the switch capability to control the beam in the design of beam steering antenna array for mobile base station applications.

DYNAMIC TRACKING PHASED ARRAY DATA LINKSBrown, K. D., Allen, Chris 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / This paper describes a flexible telemetry data link developed by National Nuclear Safety
Administration’s Kansas City Plant (NNSA-KCP) and the University of Kansas (KU) in support
of NNSA’s Remote Sensing Laboratory (NNSA-RSL) located at the Nevada Test Site. This data
link is based on a beam steerable phased array antenna (PAA). The paper describes the PAA and
the Airborne Measurement System (AMS) application requiring signal source tracking. It
highlights flight test data collected during recent flight testing on the Nevada Test Site for the
AMS.

Direct Spatial Antenna Modulation for Wideband Phase ControlUhl, Brecken 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2010 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Sixth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 25-28, 2010 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / Direct spatial antenna modulation (DSAM) is a new approach to phased array control that opens up new "smart antenna" architecture possibilities. The DSAM technique leverages the inherent spatial differences of excitation in an antenna in a novel way to achieve the equivalent of conventional modulation and beam control effects. Smart antenna techniques are of potentially increasing importance to test range operations given a trend toward more flexible, internetworked, and autonomous test activities. The DSAM technique has been demonstrated through several generations of analysis, simulation, and prototyping, but has previously only been applied to narrowband antenna designs. Furthermore, the IQ DSAM approach in particular has not been previously implemented in hardware. This paper details the application of IQ DSAM to achieve wideband phase control using a commercial off the shelf (COTS) antenna. The phase control performance of IQ DSAM over a range of 1.5 GHz to 4 GHz is measured across relative field control angles of +/- 45 degrees. The measured IQ DSAM performance is compared to what could be expected from a conventional phased array element control architecture.

Direct Spatial Antenna Modulation for Phased-Array ApplicationsUhl, Brecken 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2009 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fifth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2009 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / New technologies are sought to meet the requirements of evolving telemetry capabilities such as new operating bands, increased test article and ground segment collaboration, and on-the-fly quality of service (QOS) management. Smart antennas may contribute to this evolution by directing signal energy where and when it is needed. Direct spatial antenna modulation (DSAM) represents a new approach to cost-effective smart antennas potentially offering benefits such as post-amplifier modulation, polarization reconfigurability, phase-shifterless phased arrays, oscillator-less frequency conversion, and pre-receiver processing gain. The basic DSAM approach has recently been proven through analysis, simulation, and prototyping, with significant implications for future capabilities.

Single-stage large-angle beam steering optical phased array on silicon nanomembraneKwong, David Nien 01 November 2010 (has links)
In this paper, we present the results of the design and fabrication of a 12 channel nano-membrane-based optical phased array that allows for large angle beam steering operating at wavelength=1.55µm. Our device is fabricated on silicon-on-insulator using standard CMOS process. By implementing unequally spaced waveguide array elements, we can relax the half-wavelength spacing requirement for large angle beam steering, thereby avoiding the optical coupling between adjacent waveguides and reducing the side-lobe-level of the array radiation pattern. 1D beam steering of tranverse-electric polarized single mode light is designed to be achieved thermo-optically through the use of thin film metal phase shifters. / text

An Active Reconfigurable Reflectarray AntennaKishor, Krishna 27 July 2010 (has links)
This thesis focuses on a type of antenna known as the reflectarray antenna. In particular, it looks at the design of an active reconfigurable reflectarray antenna, which has not received much attention in the reflectarray community. Potential applications include deployment as a high gain, reconfigurable antenna for communication links, and as a spatial power combiner. The reflectarray element is an aperture-coupled patch that accepts a linearly polarized wave, phase shifts and amplifies the guided-waves in the
transmission lines, and then re-radiates an orthogonally polarized wave. Stability analysis of the element, experimental results of the designed phase shifter and simulation and experimental results of the element are presented. Fabrication details of a 48 element reflectarray and challenges faced during experimental characterization of the elements are also discussed. The two dimensional beamforming capability and amplifying nature of the array are successfully demonstrated and veri fied, indicating robustness to phase errors and oscillating elements.

Design of Radiation Pattern-Reconfigurable 60-GHz Antenna for 5G ApplicationsAbdulraheem, Yasir I., Abdullah, Abdulkareem S., Mohammed, Husham J., Mohammed, Buhari A., Abd-Alhameed, Raed 10 1900 (has links)
no / Reconfigurable beam steering using circular disc microstrip patch antenna with a ring slotis proposed. The overall dimension of the antenna is 5.4×5.4 mm2
printed on a 0.504 mm thick, Rogers RT5870 substrate with relative permittivity 2.3 and loss tangent 0.0012. The designed antenna operates at the expected 5G frequency band 60 GHz with a central coaxial probe feed. TwoNMOS switches are configured to generate three different beam patterns. Activating each switch individually results in a near 70 degree
shift in the main beam direction, whereas the frequency characteristics are unchanged. The power gains are between 3.9 dB and 4.8dB for the three states of switches configurations. Simulated results in terms of return loss, peak gains and radiation pattern are presented and show a reasonable agreement at the expected 60 GHz bandfor 5G applications. / The published journal webpage is no longer available.
