An ultra-wideband transmit/receive module using 10 to 35 GHz six-channel microstrip multiplexers and its applications to phased-array antenna transceiver systems

Hong, Seung Pyo 30 October 2006 (has links)
This dissertation introduces new and simple techniques for suppression of multispurious passbands, which are inherent to the conventional microstrip parallel coupleline bandpass filters. In addition, the operation of harmonic suppression is analyzed using a simple model. Special emphasis is placed on the applications of several new filter designs for microstrip diplexers and multiplexers. Compact, full-duplex beam scanning antenna transceiver systems with extremely broad bandwidth have also been developed. Recent advances in broadband monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers make the realization of extremely broadband phased-array transceiver systems possible. The ultra-wideband phased-array transceiver systems can be used in multi-band mobile satellite communication systems and wideband radars. This dissertation presents a multi-band, compact, full-duplex, beam scanning antenna transceiver system for satellite communications and two designs of ultra-wideband, low-cost radar systems as applications of the MMIC amplifiers. In addition, a multi-frequency antenna has been developed. A single-feed triple frequency microstrip patch antenna is presented as an answer to the recent demand for multi-function systems in the wireless communications. In summary, the research presented in this dissertation covers every component required to build an ultra-wideband, full-duplex beam scanning phased-array antenna transceiver. The work done in this dissertation should have many applications in the wireless communication systems and wideband radar technologies.

Schoeck, Kenneth O. 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Space and Missile Systems Center at Vandenberg AFB has integrated ID-1 high bit rate helical scan digital recorders into the ground based and mobile telemetry receiving and processing facilities. The systems are used for recording higher bit rates than those available with the current IRIG standard longitudinal wideband and double density instrumentation magnetic tape recorder/reproducers. In addition to the 400 Mbps digital recorders, the systems consist of high-speed multiplexer/ demultiplexers and multi-channel bit synchronizers for recording numerous telemetry data links and sources on a single recorder. This paper describes the system configurations and compares recording capabilities with those of the previous generation instrumentation magnetic tape recorder/reproducers.

Brancalion, José Fernando Basso 27 April 2001 (has links)
O principal objetivo deste trabalho é a avaliação das limitações de desempenho de multiplexadores \"add/drop\", a serem empregados em sistemas de comunicações ópticas multiplexados em comprimentos de onda (Wavelength Division Multiplexing -WDM) de alta velocidade, que operam em torno de 1.55 &#956m. Com a introdução da transmissão de dados utilizando-se a técnica WDM há a necessidade do desenvolvimento de novos componentes ópticos, como multiplexadores e demultiplexadores \"add/drop\" e \"cross-connects\" ópticos. O desenvolvimento destes componentes possibilitará a evolução dos simples enlaces WDM ponto a ponto para a rede totalmente óptica. Neste cenário os multiplexadores ópticos add/drop (Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer - OADM) desempenharão um papel chave, permitindo maior conectividade e flexibilidade nas redes WDM. Neste trabalho é especificamente analisado o OADM mencionado acima. É realizado o estuido individual dos componentes que constituem uma configuração genérica deste dispositivo.

Computer Vision from Spatial-Multiplexing Cameras at Low Measurement Rates

January 2017 (has links)
abstract: In UAVs and parking lots, it is typical to first collect an enormous number of pixels using conventional imagers. This is followed by employment of expensive methods to compress by throwing away redundant data. Subsequently, the compressed data is transmitted to a ground station. The past decade has seen the emergence of novel imagers called spatial-multiplexing cameras, which offer compression at the sensing level itself by providing an arbitrary linear measurements of the scene instead of pixel-based sampling. In this dissertation, I discuss various approaches for effective information extraction from spatial-multiplexing measurements and present the trade-offs between reliability of the performance and computational/storage load of the system. In the first part, I present a reconstruction-free approach to high-level inference in computer vision, wherein I consider the specific case of activity analysis, and show that using correlation filters, one can perform effective action recognition and localization directly from a class of spatial-multiplexing cameras, called compressive cameras, even at very low measurement rates of 1\%. In the second part, I outline a deep learning based non-iterative and real-time algorithm to reconstruct images from compressively sensed (CS) measurements, which can outperform the traditional iterative CS reconstruction algorithms in terms of reconstruction quality and time complexity, especially at low measurement rates. To overcome the limitations of compressive cameras, which are operated with random measurements and not particularly tuned to any task, in the third part of the dissertation, I propose a method to design spatial-multiplexing measurements, which are tuned to facilitate the easy extraction of features that are useful in computer vision tasks like object tracking. The work presented in the dissertation provides sufficient evidence to high-level inference in computer vision at extremely low measurement rates, and hence allows us to think about the possibility of revamping the current day computer systems. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Electrical Engineering 2017

Full-wave characterization of bi-dimensional cavities and its application to the design of waveguide filters and multiplexers

Carceller Candau, Carlos 16 May 2016 (has links)
[EN] Modern communications systems impose stringent requirements on the equipment that operates at microwave frequency, especially in the case of wireless communications. The design of passive components for these applications is contingent upon the availability of accurate electromagnetic (EM) modeling tools that can efficiently handle the complex geometry of these components. Despite the widespread use of mesh-based general-purpose computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools to perform final design verifications, their application during the optimization process is limited. Optimum designs require a large number of simulations, which are computationally expensive when performed by general purpose tools. Instead, microwave designers prefer to employ faster software tools tailored to specific geometries, such as waveguide components, multilayered structures, etc. Therefore, the development of faster and more efficient specialized EM tools has a direct impact on the design of microwave components, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Increasingly complex geometries are modeled more accurately, and may be incorporated into novel designs without penalizing development time and its associated costs. By doing so, passive components become more advanced and are able to fulfill stricter requirements. At the same time, new research and development opportunities arise in order to address the challenges posed by these advanced structures. The present thesis is focused on a specific type of waveguide cavity geometry: bi-dimensional structures of arbitrary shape. Most microwave components based on rectangular waveguides include these elements (bends, T-junctions, tapers, power-dividers, etc.), thus the scope of this work is wide. To characterize these structures, an efficient full-wave modal formulation is developed. Taking into account common properties of bi-dimensional structures, such as its electromagnetic symmetry, the resulting technique is very efficient and accurate. Thanks to the integration of this formulation into a CAE tool, a designer is able to solve complex systems that combine this type of element with components of vastly different shapes. The developed formulation is first applied to the analysis and design of passive components, such as filters, multiplexers and orthomode transducers. These examples are employed to validate the results, as well as to demonstrate the improvement that the proposed analysis technique represents over well-known commercial EM packages. Likewise, this formulation is combined with the tool SPARK3D to predict RF breakdown (multipactor and corona) in selected bi-dimensional structures. Then, novel implementations of waveguide quasi-elliptic filters, based on the interconnection of bi-dimensional cavities, are proposed. Special attention is paid to the realization of multiple transmission zeros (TZs) with tuning-less compact structures. First, a novel family of filters, known as hybrid-folded rectangular waveguide structures, is studied. Simple and flexible methods to prescribe the location of the transmission zeros realized by these structures are presented. Practical aspects related to their physical implementation are also discussed. Secondly, a compact and purely capacitive obstacle, capable of realizing multiple TZs, is presented and discussed. In both cases, multiple examples are given to illustrate the step-by-step process involved in the design of these structures. Finally, a systematic procedure for the design of wideband manifold-coupled multiplexers is proposed. To preven the generation of undesired resonances, stubs that connect the filters to the manifold are removed. Likewise, the manifold length is kept as short as possible. Following a simple procedure, based on analytical formulas and EM simulations, a good starting point for the final optimization of these structures is obtained. It has been applied to a wideband quadruplexer for passive intermodulation measurement at C-band. / [ES] Actualmente, los sistemas de comunicaciones imponen unos requisitos muy estrictos sobre el equipamiento en la banda de microondas. El diseño de estos componentes está supeditado, frecuentemente, a la disponibilidad de herramientas de modelado electromagnético (EM) que sean capaces de analizar geometrías complejas. A pesar del amplio uso de herramientas CAE (computer-aided engineering) de propósito general para la verificación final de prototipos, su potencial aplicación durante el proceso de diseño es limitada. Los diseños óptimos exigen realizar una gran cantidad de simulaciones EM. Dado que las simulaciones con estas técnicas tienen un alto coste computacional, los diseñadores suelen optar por emplear herramientas software especializadas en las estructuras que diseñan. Por tanto, el desarrollo de nuevas herramientas más precisas y eficientes ayudará a reducir el tiempo de diseño de estos productos, y con ello los costes asociados. Además, permitirá abrir nuevas líneas de investigación para responder a los retos que plantean geometrías cada vez más complejas. Esta tesis se centra en el desarrollo de una herramienta de análisis EM para un tipo concreto de estructuras: cavidades bidimensionales de sección arbitraria. Es habitual encontrar este tipo de estructuras en la mayoría de componentes implementados en guía rectangular. Por tanto, el rango de aplicación de la teoría desarrollada en esta tesis es muy amplio. En concreto, se ha desarrollado una nueva formulación basada en métodos modales que permite realizar una caracterización de onda completa de estas estructuras de forma eficiente y precisa. Al aprovechar su simetría geométrica y electromagnética, la herramienta desarrollada puede minimizar los cálculos a realizar, consiguiendo grandes velocidades de computación pero manteniendo una alta precisión. Gracias a la integración de esta formulación dentro de una herramienta CAE basada en métodos modales, se ofrece la posibilidad a los diseñadores de resolver sistemas muy complejos que combinan este tipo de cavidades con otros componentes de geometrías distintas. Esta formulación se aplica, en primer lugar, al análisis y diseño de componentes pasivos comunes, tales como filtros, multiplexores y OMTs. Estos ejemplo validan la herramienta desarrollada, y demuestran la significativa mejora que supone el uso de esta nueva técnica con respecto a otros paquetes software de análisis electromagnético. Asimismo, al combinar esta formulación con la herramienta SPARK3D se abre la posibilidad de predecir la aparición de fenómenos de descarga de alta potencia en determinadas estructuras bidimensionales. A continuación, se proponen nuevas formas de implementar filtros cuasi-elípticos basados en la interconexión de cavidades bi-dimensionales. Se hace especial hincapié en la realización de múltiples ceros de transmisión mediante estructuras compactas que no requieran sintonía. Por una parte se estudian los filtros hybrid-folded rectangular waveguide. Este trabajo incluye una discusión en profundidad sobre distintas implementaciones de este tipo de filtros. En ella se consideran aspectos prácticos relacionados con su uso e implementación física, que ofrecen al diseñador unos criterios claros para elegir la estructura que más se ajuste a sus especificaciones. Por otra parte se presenta un nuevo obstáculo de naturaleza capacitiva muy compacto, que permite la realización de múltiples ceros de transmisión incluso en estructuras en línea. En ambos casos se incluyen ejemplos de aplicación y se describe la metodología seguida para su diseño. Finalmente, se expone un procedimiento sistemático para diseñar multiplexores de banda ancha. Para prevenir la generación de resonancias indeseadas se evitan, en la medida de lo posible, las interconexiones mediante tramos cortos de guía. Siguiendo una metodología simple se consigue un excelente punto inicial para su optimización. La te / [CAT] Els actuals sistemes de comunicacions sense fils imposen uns requisits molt estrictes sobre l'equipament de la banda de microones. El disseny d'aquests components està supeditat, frequentment, a la disponibilitat de ferramentes de modelatge electromagèntic (EM) que siguen capaços de gestionar geometries complexes. Tot i l'ampli ús de ferramentes CAE (computer-aided engineering) de propòsit general per a la verificació final de prototips, la seua aplicació durant el procés de disseny és limitada. Els dissenys òptims exigeixen realitzar una gran quantitat de simulacions. Les simulacions amb aquestes tècniques tenen un alt cost computacional, per tant els dissenyadors solen optar per utilitzar ferramentes software especialitzades en les estructures que dissenyen. Per tant, el desenvolupament de noves tècniques d'anàlisi més precises i eficients ajudarà a reduir el temps de desenvolupament d'aquests productes, i dels seus costos associats. A més permetrà obrir noves línies d'investigació per respondre els reptes que plantegen geometries cada vegada més complexes. Aquesta tesi es centra en el desenvolupament d'una ferramenta d'anàlisi EM per a un tipus concret d'estructures: cavitats bidimensionals de forma arbitraria. És habitual trobar aquestes estructures en la majoria de components implementats en guia rectangular. Per tant, l'àmbit d'aplicació de la teoria presentada en esta tesi és molt ampli. En concret, s'ha desenvolupat una nova formulació basada en mètodes modals que permet realitzar una caracterització d'ona completa d'aquestes estructures de forma eficient i precisa. Aprofitant la seua simetria geomètrica i electromagnètica, la ferramenta desenvolupada pot minimitzar els càlculs a realitzar, aconseguint grans velocitats de càlcul mantenint una alta precisió. Gràcies a la integració d'aquesta formulació dins d'una ferramenta CAE basada en mètodes modals, s'ofereix la possibilitat als dissenyadors de resoldre sistemes molt complexos que combinen aquest tipus de cavitats amb altres components de diferent geometria. Aquesta formulació s'aplica, en primer lloc, a l'anàlisi i disseny de components passius comuns: filtres, multiplexors i OMTs. Aquests exemples serveixen per a validar la ferramenta desenvolupada, així com demostrar la significativa millora que suposa l'ús d'aquesta nova tècnica respecte d'altres paquets software d'anàlisi electromagnètic. Així mateix, mitjançant la combinació d'aquesta formulació amb la ferramenta SPARK3D s'obri la possibilitat de predir l'aparició de fenòmens de descàrrega d'alta potència en estructures bidimensionals. A continuació, es proposen noves formes d'implementar filtres quasi el-líptics en guia d'ona basats en la interconnexió de cavitats bidimensionals. Es fa especial èmfasi en la realització de múltiples zeros de transmissió mitjançant estructures compactes que no requereixen de sintonia. D'una banda s'estudien els filtres hybrid folded rectangular waveguide. Aquest treball inclou una discussió en profunditat sobre diferents implementacions d'aquest tipus de filtres. S'hi consideren aspectes pràctics relacionats amb el seu ús i implementació física, que ofereixen al dissenyador uns criteris clars per triar l'estructura que més s'ajuste a les seues especificacions. D'altra banda es presenta un nou obstacle de naturalesa capacitiva extremadament compacte, que permet la realització de múltiples zeros de transmissió fins i tot en estructures en línia. En els dos casos s'inclouen exemples d'aplicació i es descriu la metodologia seguida per al seu disseny. Finalment, s'exposa un procediment sistemàtic per dissenyar multiplexors de banda ampla. Per prevenir la generació de ressonàncies no desitjades s'eviten les interconnexions amb trams de guia curts. Seguint una metodologia simple, basada en fórmules analítiques i simulacions electromagnètiques, s'aconsegueix un excel-lent punt inicial per a l'optimització. / Carceller Candau, C. (2016).
